Abstract
In this chapter, the authors describe better conversations with dysarthria (BCD) therapy featuring a man living with Parkinson’s disease and his communication partner. A better conversations approach aims to help people with communication difficulties to have more enjoyable interactions. The authors outline the pre-post therapy assessment process, the intervention itself and highlight a specific outcome relating to responses to the communication partner’s turns. They also present data on the acceptability of BCD. This is the first BCD therapy case to be published and as such provides an important reference point for future work in this field.
