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!
