2) A free speech/language and hearing screening on:
Friday, May 28, 2021, from 1:00 pm to 5:30 pm.

This hearing screening is for children of all ages in the local Oahu community to help identify any hearing impairment that may affect their language development.

The hearing screening, led by Dr. Lisa Taniguchi, AuD. CCC-A, Assistant Professor at the University of Hawai'i, will be held at the University Health Partners of Hawai'i Speech & Hearing Clinic (UHPSHC), located next to the JABSOM campus in Kakaako, Honolulu.
