The Johnson Family has been learning sign language by taking all four ASL classes at Columbus Speech & Hearing. The parents have been practicing around the kids, and they have the basics down! Thank you, Johnsons, for being part of the CSH Family!

If you would like to explore sign language with your children, a family-based class will start in October. Visit columbusspeech.org to learn more.

Did you know that children in underserved communities often have limited access to age-appropriate books at home—sometimes as few as ONE book per 300 children?

Through our Juneteenth Book Drive, Columbus Speech & Hearing is working to change that.

We are still collecting NEW books for kids ages 0-6, particularly ones that feature diverse characters. These books will go directly to children in inner-city Columbus at our partnership/screening sites.

By donating new, inclusive books, you’re helping build early literacy skills and empowering kids to see themselves as readers, thinkers, and future leaders.

How You Can Participate:
📚 Drop off books to your CSH clinician or at the front desk from now until the end of August.
📦 Place your books in our collection bins (located on the 3rd floor in Clintonville and at the Dublin and Westerville offices).
🚚 Have Amazon do the work for you by ordering online and getting it delivered to Columbus Speech & Hearing, addressed to Cara Falade.

Whether you contribute one book or a stack, your donation will help a child feel seen, heard, and valued. Our Juneteenth Book Drive ends soon, so donate now!!!

Let’s honor Juneteenth by giving every child the chance to see themselves in the stories they read!

April is Deaf History Month!

All month long, we honor the stories, culture, and contributions of the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing community. It’s a time to listen, learn, and uplift voices that too often go unnoticed.

As we honor National Deaf History Month and celebrate the contributions and accomplishments of people who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing, we are proud to recognize the work our predecessors have done and the paths they have paved. We remain mindful of the work still to be done.

We proudly join our allied partners and organizations in celebrating this important month. We will continue to advocate for the right to equitable language access and inclusion.

Why Deaf History Month Is Important:

🗣️ Advocating for the Rights of Deaf Persons

Many Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing individuals still face stigma and barriers in our society. This month reminds us to speak up for access, inclusion, and respect.

🤟 Celebrating the Community

The Deaf community is vibrant, diverse, and resilient. Deaf History Month offers a meaningful moment to recognize their impact and contributions.

👁️‍🗨️ Creating Awareness

With awareness comes empathy, and with empathy comes change. Let’s take this time to grow in understanding and celebrate the power of language and identity.

Happy Friday! Today, Speech Director Carrie is here to teach us the American Sign Language (ASL) sign for "like," or to be fond of something. ⬇️ Comment below something you like that you plan to use this sign for!

To sign "Like" in ASL, follow these steps:

1. Place the palm of your dominant hand on your chest with your fingers extended.
2. Bring your thumb and middle finger together in a pinching motion as you move your hand slightly away from your chest.
3. Repeat.

If it helps, you can imagine that there is an invisible string you are pulling from your heart.

Learn more ASL when you take one of our Sign Language classes, including Family ASL! Register online today at ColumbusSpeech.org/ASL.
