Each May, Better Hearing & Speech Month (BHSM) provides an opportunity to raise awareness about communication disorders. This year, the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) has selected the theme "Building a Strong Foundation". TechACCESS celebrates SLPs and Audiologists, who support the needs of individuals with disabilities.
Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act, and helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices.
ALS Awareness Month, which occurs every May, is a time where numerous organizations and communities get together to spread awareness regarding the disease called amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). This is important so that more and more people recognize the disease and understand how those with ALS can be helped.
You can also check out our 25 (and counting!) Social Emotional Kitsto use during Mental Health Awareness Month!
Each of our kits now features links to digital resources and the other materials used to create the kit. You can use these to access materials to use the kit fully or if you can't borrow the kit just yet or create your own. The links are located on each book's page or on our Master Link List.
