In this episode, Kelsey talks to Professor Linda Tickle-Degnen about:

  • How to improve facial expression
  • What Parkinson's care partners can do to create an environment that encourages more non-verbal expression
  • What people living with Parkinson’s can do to address their own facial masking
  • One of the easiest and most essential ways to help people with Parkinson's overcome facial masking
  • The importance of vocal exercised to improve facial masking
  • Mimicry and its role in our ability to empathize with other people
  • And much more!
