2025 National Speech-Language-Hearing Month
Each May, National Speech-Language-Hearing Month provides an opportunity to raise awareness about communication disorders and the role of ASHA members in providing life-altering treatment.
This year’s observance is particularly special as 2025 marks ASHA’s Centennial, a rare and significant opportunity to showcase the vast impact of the professions on society—and how the work of audiologists and speech-language pathologists has evolved over a century. Visit www.asha100.org for more information.
Please check back throughout May for updates, including additional featured topics and resources.
