About me
Cynthia Fox, Ph.D., CCC-SLP received her doctorate degree in Speech and Hearing Sciences from the University of Arizona, Tucson. Her training included a focus in the areas of neuroscience and motor control. She is an expert on rehabilitation and neuroplasticity and the role of exercise in the improvement of function consequent to neural injury and disease. She has over 30 years of experience working in collaboration with expert colleagues conducting efficacy research on Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT LOUD®) in people with Parkinson’s disease (PD), as well as studying the underlying mechanisms of speech disorders in PD. Dr. Fox is a world leader in administration of LSVT LOUD speech treatment. She was the first to apply LSVT LOUD to disorders other than PD (e.g., multiple sclerosis) and pioneered the application to pediatric populations including children with cerebral palsy or Down syndrome. Dr. Fox worked closely on the development of a physical and occupational therapy program, LSVT BIG®, that was modeled after the LSVT LOUD speech treatment protocol. Dr. Fox has numerous publications in these areas of research and has presented extensively nationally and internationally. Dr. Fox is Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of LSVT Global and a faculty member for both LSVT LOUD and LSVT BIG Training and Certification courses.
