(Rockville, MD - March 8, 2007) May is Better Hearing and Speech Month (BHSM) and to promote it, the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) is introducing more than 60 new free and for-sale products on a new, one-of-a-kind BHSM Web site.
Featuring the 2007 Helping People Communicate logo, speech-language pathologists and audiologists can use resources in the ASHA BHSM product line to educate consumers, educators, referral sources, current clients, parents, and the media about the professions, services audiologists and speech-language pathologists provide, and raise awareness about communication disorders.
The new BHSM products can be accessed or ordered by a quick "click of the mouse." By going to the BHSM site, speech-language pathologists and audiologists can obtain variety of resources, including:
- All-new screen saver
- Customizable advertisements
- BHSM specialty items and wearables
- Press releases and media advisories
- Activity books for first through fourth graders

The BHSM Web site offers outstanding browsing capabilities, too. For example, users can now look for resources and products by topical categories. Improvements like these are virtually certain to reduce the time that needs to be spent looking for products and resources to make 2007 BHSM special.
Yet, perhaps the best way to judge the new BHSM products is to try it out the BHSM site. State associations may provide a direct link to the Web site by copying and pasting http://www.asha.org/bhsm.
