Senate Resolution No. 1627

BY: Senator RHOADS

 MEMORIALIZING Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim
 May 2026, as Speech-Language-Hearing Month in the
 State of New York

 WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative Body to recognize
official months that are set aside to increase awareness of health
issues that affect the lives of citizens of New York State; and

 WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 2026, as
Speech-Language-Hearing Month in the State of New York; and

 WHEREAS, Speech-Language-Hearing Month is a time to celebrate the
vital role that communication plays in the lives of New York citizens
and to raise awareness about the importance of speech, language, and
hearing health; and

 WHEREAS, The work of speech-language and hearing professionals who
dedicate their careers to helping individuals overcome communication
challenges is vital; utilizing evidence-based therapies and
interventions to enhance communication skills and improve quality of
life, they help children develop their first words, assist adults
recovering from stroke or brain injury, and provide essential support to
individuals with a wide range of needs; and

 WHEREAS, Serving as a reminder to prioritize communication health
and to seek professional help when needed, Speech-Language-Hearing Month
is meant to aid communities in understanding the complexities of
communication and appreciating the dedicated professionals who work in
the field; and

 WHEREAS, It is imperative that there be greater public awareness of
this issue and that communities work to foster a society that values and
supports the right to communicate effectively; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 2026, as
Speech-Language-Hearing Month in the State of New York; and be it
further

 RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to The Honorable Kathy Hochul, Governor of the State of New
York.
