May is Speech and Hearing Month!

Each May, Speech and Hearing Month is recognized as a time to raise awareness about the importance of communication health and the essential role of regulated health professionals in supporting it.

Ontario’s audiologists (AUDs) and speech-language pathologists (SLPs) support people of all ages with speech, language, hearing, balance, and swallowing challenges—helping them to connect with others, participate more fully in their communities, and thrive.

This month is also an opportunity to emphasize the value of early identification and intervention. Whether it’s helping children build language skills, supporting adults with hearing loss, or guiding people through recovery after illness or injury, AUDs and SLPs make a meaningful impact every day.

CASLPO is proud to regulate a community of professionals committed to providing ethical, evidence-based care that improves the lives of Ontarians. Thank you to our registrants for the important work you do.
