Auditory-Verbal Therapy
Auditory-verbal therapy is to help children with hearing loss to use their amplified hearing to communicate through spoken language. Training emphasize on hearing rather than vision. Therapy involves parents as the child's natural language teacher.
Children learn to use their residual hearing through hearing aids and/or cochlear implants to listen and understand spoken language in order to communicate through speech. Therapy sessions are individualized and involve active parent participants. Learning activities are planned according to the child's development, and therapists demonstrate, guide and coach parents on auditory-verbal techniques for stimulating speech, language and communication activities at home. Through play and active involvement with supportive parents and caregivers in everyday situations, hearing is integrated in into child’s total personality and language and speech skills are developed in a natural way.
