hi  Bunny- The LST approach is   a type of therapy designed by a spouse of
a parkison's person.  Different  from a  "normal" therapy program in that
certain sounds are not worked on specifically, but rather loud vocal sounds
are taught to be used inthe future, for after a  month long intense program
- 1hr /day for 5 days a week, a person comes away with the
"tools" necessary  to continue at home. I have been doing the LST  at home
for  a yr and a half now, and yes it has helped. good luck to you
