Spring is here. May is just around the corner. It's hard to believe that there is so little time left to this school year.
A few thoughts for the season. May is Better Speech and Hearing Month. It's a time to remember the important role speech, language and hearing play in our lives and the lives of children. This is a good time to be aware of how loud your child is listening to music/MP3 players. The use of earbuds can cause damage to hearing - just as exposure to any loud sound over a period of time can. The habits we start children with will last with them a life time. What a gift if they can have normal hearing throughout their adult lives!
Don't forget to read to your children and have them read with you. It's a great way to help develop their vocabulary, memory skills, and ability to predict and discuss.
If you'd like specific information about your child's speech or language development please contact me or see one of the links below.
