Goals 4 - Strategic Direction 1. Student Achievement BACKGROUND : Every May the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association celebrates Better Hearing and Speech Month. This is an opportunity to raise awareness about communication disorders and the role that speech-language pathologists (SLP) and audiologists have in schools. This year the theme is “Communication at Work.” Speech, language, and hearing disorders are among the most common disabilities in the United States. The following information is from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for Health Statistics, 2012. Nearly 1 in 12 U.S. children ages 3-17 has had a disorder related to voice, speech, language, or swallowing in the past 12 months Boys ages 3-17 are more likely than girls to have a communication or swallowing disorder (9.6 percent compared to 5.7 percent) The prevalence of communication or swallowing disorders is highest amongst children ages 3-6 (11 percent) compared to children ages 7-10 (9.3 percent) and children ages 11-17 (4.9 percent) In our schools, Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) evaluate, diagnose and serve students with speech and/or language impairments. Audiologists evaluate and diagnose hearing loss and recommend the appropriate device to accommodate for the degree of hearing loss. Each day SLPs, audiologists and Teachers of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing work tirelessly on behalf of students to facilitate access to the curriculum through identification of communication barriers which inhibit effective communication in the academic setting and daily life. The Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists in Pinellas County Schools collaboratively and creatively work with their co-workers, administrators and students to recognize speech and/or language impairments and support accommodations for hearing loss with the goal of increasing student success. The district and the departments of Exceptional Student Education and Communication Disorders recognize May 2020 as Better Hearing and Speech Month. We recognize the Pinellas County Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists who provide support to students with exceptional needs related to speech-language and hearing and thank them for serving our students.
