Better Speech and Hearing Month | Speech Tips & Parent Support from Splatify Speech
May is here—and that means it’s officially Better Speech and Hearing Month! At Splatify Speech, we’re celebrating all month long by sharing helpful tips, resources, and answers to the most common questions about speech and language development in children.
Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or therapist, this is the perfect time to learn more about communication milestones, how speech therapy works, and simple ways you can support a child’s growth at home.
What Is Better Speech and Hearing Month?
Each May, speech-language pathologists (SLPs), audiologists, and professionals across the country join together to raise awareness about communication disorders—and the incredible progress kids can make with the right support.
This month shines a spotlight on speech and language development, hearing health, and the early signs that a child might need a little extra help.
Why Speech and Language Skills Matter
Speech and language are the foundation of learning, social connection, and confidence. From a baby’s first babble to a preschooler’s storytelling, communication skills play a major role in everyday life.
At Splatify Speech, we focus on empowering parents with practical tools and evidence-based strategies to support children’s articulation, language, and overall communication skills—especially for kids who need help mastering tricky sounds like /r/, blends, and more.
What You Can Expect From Us This Month
All month long, we’ll be sharing:
- Social Media Posts featuring quick answers to common speech and language questions
- Free Downloads and Home Practice Tips
- Spotlights on Early Signs of Speech Delays
- Behind-the-Scenes of Our Speech Therapy Tools and Books
- Real Talk About What Speech Therapy Actually Looks Like

If you’ve ever wondered:

- “What sounds should my child be able to say at their age?”
- “What happens in a speech therapy session?”

You’re in the right place.
