News, Articles, Education & Fun Things Webinar: Tuesday, June 24th at 2pm: Managing Driving with Parkinson’s Worried you might have to stop driving because of your Parkinson’s symptoms? Are you struggling with how to talk to a loved one about relinquishing the car keys? Driving with PD is a common concern and a topic we get asked about often. Expert guest, Kelsee Hove, OTD, OTR/L, CBIS, DRP, will host an insightful discussion that explores a very sensitive yet very important aspect of living with Parkinson’s disease: driving. This episode will delve into the importance of driving assessments – what they are, how they work, and where to find qualified providers. We’ll also cover how PD can affect driving ability over time and the signs that it may be time to modify driving habits. We’ll also offer practical guidance for family members and loved ones on how to approach this delicate conversation with care, empathy, and respect. Click to Register. Webinar: Thursday, June 26th at 12pm: Build Your Parkinson’s Care Team Who should be part of my Parkinson's care team? How can my care team change over time? How can my care partner and I make the most of my appointment with my movement disorder specialist? When should I seek out a second opinion?Register now to hear our expert panel — featuring people living with PD, a care partner, a movement disorder specialist and lifestyle medicine physician, a physical therapist, and a speech and language pathologist — answer these questions and more during this month’s Third Thursdays Webinar. They will share practical strategies and advice on building a team to best support your journey with Parkinson’s disease. Click to Register. Webinar: Wednesday, July 9th at 3pm: Palliative Care and PD Palliative care is often thought to be for end of life. It is actually care that focuses on enhancing the quality of life for those with incurable illnesses and their families. Management of non-motor symptoms, care-giver support, and advanced care planning are just a few of the levels of support needed for all people living with Parkinson’s. Dr. Benzi Kluger will walk us through how palliative care can help us all. Click to Register.
