5/9/2022

The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) is a national organization that represents professional, research, and credentialing needs of speech-language pathologists, audiologists, and speech-language-hearing scientists.
Each May, ASHA celebrates Better Hearing and Speech Month. This annual celebration gives professionals in the field an opportunity to increase awareness regarding various hearing and communication disorders that impact individuals across the lifespan. 
The process of listening, hearing, understanding, organizing thoughts, and moving musculature to express thoughts involves many steps. Some individuals with hearing or communication disorders may experience one or several challenges in these areas. Particular populations that we may serve include individuals who:
  • Stutter
  • Are Autistic or Neurodivergent 
  • Have developmental or intellectual disabilities  
  • Have had a brain injury or concussion 
  • Have had a stroke 
  • Are currently receiving or have completed cancer related treatment
  • Are Deaf or hard of hearing 
  • Have Parkinson’s Disease
  • Have Alzheimer’s or dementia 
  • And many others...
Take time today to consider how communication fosters connection and interaction in your daily life. Be an advocate for those with hearing and communication disorders by sharing resources from ASHA with friends and family. Should you or a loved one need support, contact Cognition, Speech & Language for a free consultation.
