What LSVT Global does

LSVT Global, Inc. is a privately held healthcare education and certification company headquartered at 4720 N. Oracle Road in Tucson, Arizona. Founded to commercialize the Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT) protocols, the company trains and certifies speech-language pathologists, physical therapists, and occupational therapists to deliver LSVT LOUD (speech and voice therapy), LSVT BIG (physical and occupational therapy), and LSVT LOUD for KIDS (a pediatric adaptation for motor speech disorders including cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, and autism) to individuals with Parkinson's disease and other neurological conditions. The company operates a dual-sided model: clinicians are the direct paying customers via certification courses and software, while patients and families access treatment indirectly through the public LSVT clinician directory.

LSVT Global's product ecosystem centers on training and certification courses (LSVT LOUD, LSVT BIG, LSVT LOUD for KIDS), the LSVT Coach software platform available in Clinician and Client Editions with a patented calibrated microphone (available in English and German), long-term maintenance programs (LOUD for LIFE, BIG for LIFE, LSVT FOR LIFE), an online clinician portal, a home exercise program delivered via the Wibbi platform with EMR and RTM integration, and an extensive library of 40+ on-demand webinars plus live webinars with CEU credits. The core LSVT LOUD protocol is an intensive 16-session, four-week treatment targeting vocal amplitude as the primary training parameter, with documented spread of effects across multiple motor systems.

The company monetizes primarily through one-time course and software licensing fees plus a recurring biennial certification renewal (~$65 per renewal, approximately 2–2.5 hours of online content) that maintains directory listing and portal access. Distribution is direct-to-clinician through an e-commerce storefront (lsvtstore.mybigcommerce.com), supported by content marketing via a blog, YouTube channel, and active presence across Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, and TikTok, with telepractice/telehealth delivery expanding reach beyond geographic constraints. Leadership comprises CEO and co-founder Cynthia Marie Fox and co-founder and Vice-President of Business Development David H. McFarland; the company is independently owned with no disclosed institutional investment.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• PESI: Large continuing education provider for healthcare and behavioral health professionals. Comparable as a CEU-earning training destination for clinicians, but broader in scope (mental health, nursing, allied health) and less specialized in neurorehabilitation protocols.
• Relias: Workforce training and compliance platform for healthcare and human services organizations. Comparable as a healthcare CE/training incumbent serving clinicians, but oriented to enterprise contracts and broad compliance content rather than specialized treatment protocols.
• HealthStream: Public workforce development and training platform for healthcare organizations. Comparable as a healthcare professional training incumbent serving hospital systems, but oriented to enterprise workforce compliance rather than individual clinician protocol certification.

Emerging players

• Constant Therapy Health: Digital neurorehabilitation app delivering speech and cognitive therapy exercises with clinician dashboards. Adjacent emerging player with overlap in LSVT's neurological patient population, but competes more in patient-facing therapy delivery than in clinician certification.

Direct peers

• MedBridge: Leading online education and patient engagement platform for physical, occupational, and speech therapists. Directly comparable as a subscription-based CE/training platform serving the same clinician base (SLPs, PTs, OTs) with certification and continuing education courses.
• SpeechPathology.com: Continuing education platform specifically serving speech-language pathologists with ASHA-approved CE courses. Directly comparable in the SLP CE/training vertical, though it lacks LSVT's protocol-specific certification and proprietary software stack.
• TherapyEd: Continuing education and exam preparation provider for physical therapists. Comparable in delivering PT-focused CE courses and certification content, though focused on licensure prep rather than specialized treatment protocols like LSVT BIG.
• Northern Speech Services: Provider of continuing education courses, seminars, and materials for speech-language pathologists. Directly comparable in the SLP CE/training space, sharing the niche-specialist CE distribution model, though broader across multiple SLP specialties rather than a single protocol.
