The Ohio Affiliate of the National Black Association for Speech Language and Hearing (OH-NBASLH) mission:
- Foster a supportive environment where Black speech and hearing professionals (and aspiring professionals) can connect
- Advocate for Black individuals with communication disorders and differences
- Recruit more members of the Black community to join the field of speech and hearing sciences
- Improve the quality of speech-language and audiological services provided to members of the Black community within the greater Ohio area
- Promote and develop research initiatives that increase the body of knowledge surrounding the identification, diagnosis and treatment of Black individuals with communication sciences and disorders
Our general meeting occurs every second Thursday of the month. In the future we are preparing for a fundraiser on BuckeyeFunder to provide access to Black students to go the annual NBASLH convention. We also plan to release merch this month!
See image above for upcoming volunteer opportunity on Dec. 3. Anyone who would like more updates can follow our Instagram, @ohnbaslh and refer to our email for any further questions, @ASC OHNBASLH.
