May is National Speech-Language-Hearing Month. This month holds a special place in our hearts as speech-language pathologists and audiologists, as it highlights the profound impact of our work in enhancing communication and hearing abilities. Throughout this month, we celebrate not only our profession but also the lives of the individuals we touch every day. It's a time to recognize the importance of early intervention, access to services, and ongoing research that drives our field forward. As speech-language pathologists and audiologists, we are dedicated to empowering individuals of all ages to communicate effectively, fostering connections, and promoting inclusivity. National Speech-Language-Hearing Month serves as a reminder of the incredible difference we make in the lives of those we serve.
