Every May is the ‘Better Hearing & Speech Month’ as celebrated by the American Speech-Language Hearing Association.
The theme for 2018 is ‘Communication for all’.
Our ability to comprehend our world and communicate with everyone around us is dependent on our hearing health, language and speech development; from reading, writing, and academics to personal relationships and profssional careers – speech-language and hearing health and crucial in our daily lives.
Early detection and treatment, in children, is key; a new study by ASHA found that 69% of parents don’t know the signs of a communication disorder. Read below for some of the hallmark signs of Language, Speech-Sound, Stuttering, Voice & Hearing Disorders.
