Hello from your friendly therapists and staff at Kids Place Therapy Services! It is officially May, which is Better Speech and Hearing Month. Better Speech and Hearing Month is an annual event that provides opportunities to raise awareness and promote acceptance of communication disorders and hearing loss. Additionally, Better Speech and Hearing month promotes effective treatment that can improve the quality of life for those who experience challenges with communication. At Kids Place Therapy Services, our dedicated speech language pathologists work towards improving pediatric communication in all forms, including verbal communication, non-verbal communication, and augmentative and alternative communication. There are many ways that parents and caregivers can promote language growth within the home, including floor time and play, reading books, singing songs with gestures, and narration of activities. Communication comes in many forms, and May is the time to appreciate all of the different ways we are able to communicate with one another. Happy Speech and Hearing month from Kids Place Therapy Services!
