This month we are debuting MHIKNET’s 5 on 5 – which highlights 5 free, online resources on the 5th day of each month. For May we’ve pulled together 5 online resources for Speech and Hearing Month:
Speech-Language and Audiology Canada
Speech-Language and Audiology Canada makes free brochures and patient information sheets available for Speech and Hearing Month . You can also access various position papers and guidelines on the association’s main website
Drums and Potlatches: Culturally-Relevant Books for Speech-Language Pathologists in Canada
This book list and annotated bibliography highlights a selection of culturally-appropriate picture books that are useful for speech language pathologists working with school-aged children.
A Resource and Informational Toolkit for Speech-Language Pathologists Working with Bilingual Children
This resource discusses what to consider when assessing bilingual children, and links to other relevant videos and online resources.
The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association Practice Portal
“The goal of ASHA’s Practice Portal is to facilitate clinical decision making and increase practice efficiency for audiologists and speech-language pathologists by providing resources on clinical and professional topics and linking to available evidence”
CDC Milestone Tracker (available for Apple and Android devices)
The Milestone Tracker app was developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s “Learn the Signs. Act Early” program to “Track your child’s milestones at key developmental stages from 2 months to 5 years with CDC’s easy-to-use illustrated checklists; get tips from CDC for encouraging your child’s development; and find out what to do if you are ever concerned about how your child is developing.”
