Happy SLP Month!

The month of May brings spring flowers, as they say. It also brings an opportunity to appreciate and recognize our wonderful Mid South Rehab Speech-Language Pathologists. This year is especially significant as the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) celebrates its 100th anniversary. For a century, ASHA has been a steadfast champion for its members and the science and practice of addressing communication disorders. They have empowered millions to connect, thrive, and achieve effective communication.

From advancing groundbreaking research to advocating for key legislation, ASHA’s legacy is built on the transformative work of audiologists, speech-language pathologists, speech, language, and hearing scientists, and assistants. As we celebrate their past achievements, we are inspired by the possibilities ahead.

Let's take a moment to personally thank our dedicated Speech-Language Pathologists for their incredible work and commitment. Your efforts make a profound difference in the lives of so many, and we are deeply grateful for all that you do.

 ASHA’s Impact: 100 Years of Transforming Lives

During the past 100 years, the professions of audiology and speech-language pathology have grown to become vital parts of our health care and education systems. Audiologists and SLPs have helped countless people communicate more effectively.

Working directly with patients and students isn’t the only way our professions make an impact. ASHA funds and advocates for key legislation and enables innovation. For example, ASHA published telepractice guidelines long before the COVID-19 pandemic, becoming a leading voice in telehealth services. ASHA has also been involved in passing important legislation, such as federally funded newborn hearing screenings, essential for the early detection of hearing loss in children, and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, which ensures that all children have access to a free, appropriate public education.

Mid South appreciates all you do!
