Cynthia Fox

Cynthia Fox, PhD, 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 in rehabilitation and neuroplasticity and the role of exercise in improving function following neural injury and disease. She has over 25 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 the 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 its application to pediatric populations, including children with cerebral palsy and Down syndrome. Dr. Fox worked closely on the development of a physical and occupational therapy program, LSVT BIG®, modeled after the LSVT LOUD speech treatment protocol. She has numerous publications in these areas of research and has presented extensively, both 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.
