I do not have anyone to recommend, but I am curious.
Why would you want someone who was non-verbal to "speak" at a conference? |

| Mohamed Ali used to let other boxers hit him until they got tired and then he would counter to win his boxing matches. It did not go well for him later in life. You might want to be more cautious and consider investigating any supplements or nutrition people have found to be helpful for Parkinson's.... |

| You will probably get a lot of advice exhorting you to give him space and let him do his own thing. It might be beneficial for him to have boundaries and behaviors such that he learn to control himself. This will give him more options in life than expecting that everyone he meets will cut him slack. |

| Being ignored is not the worst thing that can happen. People who know you and care about you will be interested (although they can occasionally take you for granted). Strangers may take an interest if you are rich, famous, entertaining, or otherwise interesting. Civility, courtesy, and politeness ar... |
