The speaker will be Dan Phillips, Assistant Professor with the Department of Communication Disorders at Auburn University.  His topic will be “Speaking Effectively-What to do when people don’t understand.”  The presentation will focus on tips for both those with Parkinson’s Disease and Care Givers to improve communication.  May is Better Hearing and Speech Month so this is a good time to emphasize being understood more effectively.  For more information contact Linda Drummond at 334.444.2836 or Tom Bonniol at 334-887-1891.
