CSHC - Auditory-Verbal Therapy

Auditory-Verbal Therapy (AVT) is a family-centred approach for children with hearing loss which focuses on developing listening and spoken language. AVT is individualized to meet the unique and specific needs of each and every child through the use of hearing aids and/or cochlear implants. The goal of Auditory-Verbal Therapy is to achieve age-appropriate spoken language and attend mainstream daycares, preschools/nursery schools, and schools.

Learning to listen requires time and the expert guidance of a Listening and Spoken Language Specialist. Therapists work closely with families to set up an appropriate listening environment, learn to be their childs primary language model, and to help integrate listening and spoken language goals into their childs daily routines and activities. Families are encouraged to teach their child in their native/home language in order to preserve and build important communication connections and values related to their culture.
