Every May, the world celebrates Better Speech and Language Month (now National Speech-Language-Hearing Month), a time to raise awareness about communication disorders and the importance of effective communication. This month holds a wealth of marketing potential for businesses, offering a chance to connect with your audience on a deeper level and position yourself as a champion for inclusivity.
A Rich History of Empowering Communication
The observance traces its roots back to 1927 when the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) established Better Hearing and Speech Month. In 2023, the name was updated to National Speech-Language-Hearing Month to encompass the broader spectrum of communication challenges. Throughout May, various organizations host events, provide educational resources, and advocate for early intervention and treatment for speech, language, and hearing disorders.
Celebrating Communication in Everyday Life
While awareness campaigns and medical checkups are crucial aspects of the month, celebrations can take many forms. Schools may organize speech therapy demonstrations or invite professionals to speak about communication development. Speech-language pathologists might offer free screenings or workshops. Individuals can participate by sharing stories of overcoming communication challenges or simply becoming more mindful of their own communication practices.
Leveraging the Power of Better Speech and Language Month
Here's how your business can leverage this impactful month:
Promote Inclusivity: Showcase your commitment to clear and inclusive communication in your marketing materials. This could involve offering multilingual customer service or ensuring your website is accessible for individuals with visual impairments.
