ROCKVILLE, Md., May 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Sixty-five percent of people ages 18 years and older with hearing, speech, and/or language disorders say that they encounter stigmas, according to a new national poll commissioned by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) and conducted by YouGov. The results are being released as National Speech-Language-Hearing Month begins today.
Key Points:
- Although these disorders can make communication more challenging, they do not reflect a person's intelligence.
- ASHA chose to poll adults because information about the stigmatization that they experience is not as available as it is for children.
- "It is most fitting that we spotlight stigmas associated with communication disorders for National Speech-Language-Hearing Month," said ASHA President Tena L. McNamara, AuD, CCC-A/SLP.
- The figures have been weighted and are representative of U.S. adults ages 18+ years with hearing, speech, and/or language difficulties.
