May Month
May
is Speech and Hearing Awareness Month, the one month
in the year when thousands of professionals involved with
the treatment of speech, language and hearing disorders
come together to participate in a public awareness campaign
that encourages early detection and prevention of communication
disorders, and seeks to increase the public's sensitivity
to the challenges faced by individuals experiencing them.
Throughout the month of May the Canadian Association
of Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists (CASLPA)
and our more than 6,000 members - speech-language pathologists,
audiologists and supportive personnel across Canada - will
be hard at work raising public awareness concerning their
professions and the many issues surrounding speech, language
and hearing disorders.
