The Speech-Language-Hearing Association of Virginia (SHAV) is an independent non-profit professional association representing speech-language pathologists and audiologists in the Commonwealth of Virginia.  Formed in 1957, SHAV is the only recognized professional organization in Virginia representing our members so they can better serve the needs of people with speech, language, hearing and other communicative impairments in Virginia.  SHAV is governed by an elected board of volunteer officers operating under by-laws of the association.  SHAV contracts with a management firm and lobby team who work on behalf of the association and citizens of Virginia.  SHAV's many committees and task forces provide opportunities for members to interact, learn and develop new skills.

CELEBRATE BETTER HEARING AND SPEECH MONTH

THIS MAY Since 1927, the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association has celebrated Better Hearing and Speech Month each May to raise public awareness of speech and language disorders that affect 14 million Americans. Take time this month to raise awareness of how speech and language disorders can take many forms and can limit academic achievement, social adjustment, and career advancement. Additionally, it is a good time to analyze your own hearing and determine if you are one of the estimated 28 million Americans who have a hearing loss that can be treated. The SHAV Executive Board encourages you to visit www.asha.org for activities, reference materials and public service announcements to share with your communities!
