May Month

Electronic May Month Marketing Kit

Thank you for joining our National Speech & Hearing Month Celebration! May Month has been celebrated across North America since 1927 and we are pleased that so many CASLPA members will be taking the opportunity this year to show pride in their professions and help raise awareness of the issues relating to speech, language and audiology in their communities.

In order to help you accomplish this, we are pleased to provide an electronic copy of our May Month Marketing Kit. Please be advised that some of these files are PDF (requiring Adobe Acrobat) and some are Microsoft Word 2003 files. We hope that you will not encounter font or file conflicts. If you experience difficulties please contact us.

The files that make up the May is Speech and Hearing Awareness Month Marketing Kit can be obtained by clicking on the links below. Some files may take a few seconds to download depending on your system capabilities so please be patient.
