May is designated as Better Hearing & Speech Month, a time to raise awareness about communication disorders and promote the importance of early intervention. Speech and language delays are among children's most common developmental disorders, affecting approximately 10-15% of kids. Early identification and intervention can significantly improve outcomes for children with speech and language delays.

As a parent or caregiver, ensuring your child's success in school may be one of your top priorities.

“National Children’s Mental Health Awareness Day shines a national spotlight on the importance of caring for every child’s mental health and reinforces that positive mental health is essential to a child’s healthy development.”

In May, we draw attention to those who experience stuttering to help raise awareness about what it is and how parents can find therapeutic interventions to help their children with fluency at an early age. Most importantly, during National Stuttering Awareness Week (the second week of May), we want to help spread the message that those who stutter are not alone and should not feel isolated.

JUSTin HOPE Foundation was created in 2011 in Reno, NV, by the parents of a special young man named Justin Reitz. When Justin was two years old, he was diagnosed with a neurodevelopmental disorder. As his parents navigated this overwhelming change and encountered countless questions in their journey to help their son, they realized that there was a lack of support and resources for families in similar circumstances.

Each year in May, we observe Better Hearing and Speech Month. The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) aims to increase awareness and understanding about disorders related to speech and hearing. Everyone is encouraged to be mindful of their speech and hearing ability, but for children, it is especially important not only to address problems, but to prevent injury.
