May is Better Hearing and Speech Month! This year’s theme is “Early Intervention Counts.” What most people don’t know is that most hearing and speech problems are treatable, but are often overlooked. The longer these conditions go without being treated, the harder it is to treat them. That’s why this month, let’s spread awareness about early intervention. If conditions are recognized at early ages, the easier and quicker it will be to treat. The quicker these conditions are treated, the faster a patient can improve their quality of life.
This month is going to focus on technology and communication. Hearing and speech organizations are promoting the importance of human communication with smartphones and tablets. The advancement of technology is increasing rapidly and has become very popular among children.
At Access Physical Therapy & Wellness we offer speech, cognitive and swallowing therapy services at our three hospital locations. Providing physical, occupational and speech therapy service in three local communities makes receiving these therapies easier for our patients.
