Who must order the SPEAK OUT! Workbook?

• A. A health professional.
• B. A U.S. patient or family member.
• C. A caregiver only.
• D. Anyone interested in Parkinson's.

Answer: (B)

The SPEAK OUT! Workbook is specifically designed for individuals with Parkinson's disease, as well as their families and caregivers. Having a U.S. patient or family member order the workbook ensures that it is being obtained by someone who directly benefits from the program. This option emphasizes the importance of the patient's involvement in their treatment and the support system that surrounds them. While health professionals may recommend or support the use of the workbook, and caregivers can definitely benefit from it, the primary focus is on the patient or their family taking the initiative to access this resource. Similarly, while anyone interested in Parkinson's may want to learn about the program, the intent is for those who are directly impacted by Parkinson's to be the ones ordering the workbook, as they are the ones who will use it most effectively in their own communication and therapy practice.
