This is also known as Speech Therapy Month, a time when we pay more attention to language and how our Speech Therapist friends support individuals in being able to communicate with each other. It is also important to spend some time thinking about noise and how it affects our hearing. For our kiddos, Speech Therapists, also known as Speech Language Pathologists, help them share their needs and thoughts with others, strengthen their mouth and tongue for proper chewing and drinking, and support brain development so they can learn new skills.
