May is Speech & Hearing Month in Canada!
ACSLPA members this is how YOU get involved in ‘Speech & Hearing’!
Each year, the month of May is dedicated to raising public awareness about Speech and Hearing. ACSLPA has created resources for members to use when promoting their professions and supporting clients. The Organization of Alberta Students in Speech (OASIS) will be promoting Speech & Hearing Month in booths across cities in the west during May Month. ACSLPA has provided OASIS with swag, tattoos and our new information sheets to assist with their promotion.
