Speech & Hearing Month

May is Speech and Hearing month! NBASLPA invites you to celebrate with us by considering the importance of communication in your daily life and by encouraging awareness of issues related to speech, language, swallowing, hearing, and balance. Speech-language pathologists and audiologists can help you find ways to improve communication and quality of life for yourself and your loved ones.
