Did you know that the month of May has been designated as Better Hearing and Speech Month?  According to the American Speech-Language Hearing Association (ASHA), this annual event provides opportunities to raise awareness about communication disorders and to promote treatment that can improve the quality of life for those who experience problems with speaking, understanding, or hearing. 

Speech-language pathologists and audiologists use this time to broaden their profession by attending conferences and continuing education events.  They also educate their clients, patients, students, and their community about the fields of audiology and speech-language pathology.  

If you are a teacher, daycare provider, or someone who values communication, please share this information with your students, parents, and as many people as possible.  So, where can you get more information and materials promoting Better Hearing and Speech Month?  Try these free and fun informative resources!

  • The American Speech-Language Hearing Association offers kids activities, stickers, coloring pages, certificates, door hangers, and contests.
