CELEBRATE BETTER HEARING AND SPEECH MONTH

Since 1927, the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association has celebrated Better Hearing and Speech Month each May to raise public awareness of speech and language disorders that affect 14 million Americans.
Speech and language disorders can take many forms and can limit academic achievement, social adjustment, and career advancement. An individual may be born with a speech or language disorder, or it may be caused by accidental injury or illness.
" Fortunately, most people with speech and language problems can be helped,” said Siva Gramm-Rohm M.S., CCC-SLP. "Even if the problem cannot be eliminated, we can teach people with speech and language problems strategies to help them cope. People may not fully regain their capacity to speak and understand, but a speech-language pathologist can help them live more independently."
Speech-language pathologists are professionals who treat all types of speech, language, and related disorders. They hold at least a master's degree and are certified by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. [In Arizona, they also are licensed by the state.] Speech-language pathologists work in schools, private practices, hospitals, clinics, and other health and education settings.
The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) is the national professional, scientific and credentialing association for more than 114,000 audiologists, speech-language pathologists and speech, language, and hearing scientists.
Kingman Regional Medical Center is proud to offer speech-language pathology services in our community. For more information contact Ellen Treide or Siva Gramm-Rohm at (928) 692-4630.
