Every May, it’s time to raise awareness for better speech and hearing. This provides you with the opportunity to tell people about hearing and speech disorders that affect members of your community.
Better Hearing and Speech Month also gives you the chance to share life-changing information with those who have hearing and speech disorders.
Each May, the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) seeks to build connections between those who are hearing and speech impaired with Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) within their community. ASHA offers free PDFs, templates, infographics, specialized tips, and more on their website to aid in building these relationships.
You can learn valuable information, like how the COVID-19 pandemic is presenting special challenges for hearing and speech therapy, why early intervention is important, how to communicate with speech or hearing-impaired Spanish-speaking children, and how to deal with untreated hearing loss in adults.
ASHA is committed to public outreach, and provides everyone, not just SLPs and audiologists, with information to help advocate for their loved ones who are speech and hearing impaired. Take a look at their social media page, press release templates, and tips to contact your local and state government officials.
