Parkinson’s disease symptoms include muscle rigidity, tremors and changes in speech and gait. About 50,000 Americans are diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Parkinson’s disease usually begins when a person is in his/her 60′s; although can strike in a person’s 20s.

Family and loved ones, especially spouses, are also affected. Knowledge of specific training and a comprehensive approach are key to providing the best services to persons affected by Parkinson’s and their family members.
