May is National Speech Language Hearing Month, a time to celebrate communication and raise awareness about supporting our children’s speech, language, and hearing development. At Naples Elementary School, our speech and hearing specialists are here to help every child find their voice, and we want to share an important message with our families.
In today’s digital world, screens are everywhere. While technology can be a great learning tool, too much screen time, especially for young children, can have negative effects on their social, emotional, and overall communication development.
Let’s work together to create a balanced environment where our children can grow into confident communicators. If you have questions or concerns about your child’s speech or language development, our team is here to support you!
