Get back to everyday life, as soon as possible, with Sayre Christian Village therapy programs.
Sayre Christian Village physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and short-term rehab programs provide individuals to work toward regaining the ability to participate in the activities they loved before illness, injury, or surgery affected their lifestyle.
Our award-winning therapy team ensures that your goals are our goals. We have state-of-the-art equipment in a large, modern therapy gym, but our most important tools are our ears. We listen! Rehabilitation programs are individualized to each person’s level of activity, lifestyle, and goals for improvement.

The SPEAK OUT!® Therapy Program, developed by the nonprofit organization, Parkinson Voice Project®, helps people with Parkinson’s and related disorders REGAIN and RETAIN their speech and swallowing. The program, if followed properly according to the exercises set out in the SPEAK OUT!® Therapy Program, can improve volume, articulation, breath support for speech, vocal quality, intonation, and facial expression. Patients and families also report reduced drooling and improved swallowing. This highly effective, research-based treatment combines education, individual SPEAK OUT!® Therapy, SPEAK OUT!® Classes, daily home practice, and continuous follow-ups. Once patients enter the program, they remain in it for life.
Beginning Tuesday, June 16th, Sayre Christian Village will offer SPEAK OUT!® Classes every Tuesday at 1:00 PM in the Friendship Towers Event Center.
How often are the classes offered?
SPEAK OUT!® Classes meet weekly and serve as the group therapy component of the SPEAK OUT!® program. These sessions help participants maintain and strengthen the communication skills developed during individual therapy while providing encouragement, support, and camaraderie among members.
