TSHA Texas Speech-Language-Hearing Association

We're more than halfway through April!

Quick check-in, SLPs…...

Are we honoring the whole client—or just the language we test in?

This month (and every month), let’s remember:
✨ A difference is not a disorder
✨ Home languages are assets, not barriers
✨ Culture shapes communication

Let’s keep showing up with intention.
