Does your child have hearing differences? Do you want him/her to learn to listen and talk? If so, then Auditory-Verbal Therapy (AVT) may be the right fit for your family. AVT is a listening and spoken language (LSL) approach that helps newborns, infants, toddlers, and young children develop speech and language skills through listening using their residual hearing in addition to consistent use of hearing aid(s) and/or cochlear implant(s).
At Monkey Mouths, our deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) team members utilize a parent coaching therapy style to teach children who have hearing differences to listen and talk. We use a child’s residual hearing combined with amplification to stimulate the brain and grow listening skills. Auditory-Verbal Therapy (AVT) is a parent centered approach in which the parent(s) and AV therapist work together during therapy sessions to develop goals, learn strategies, and ask/answer questions so that, ultimately, the child can develop listening skills and intelligible spoken language similar to typical hearing peers.
Auditory verbal therapy (AVT) is a type of therapy that helps children with hearing challenges learn how to listen and talk. A trained therapist works closely with a child and their family to develop strong listening and speaking skills. The therapy focuses on using hearing aids or cochlear implants to maximize the child’s ability to hear and understand speech. Through structured exercises and activities, AVT helps individuals become more independent in their communication.
We employ various techniques to improve understanding in different environments, including:
Adult aural rehabilitation conducted by a speech pathologist involves a personalized and multifaceted approach aimed at optimizing communication and coping strategies for individuals with hearing loss. Through tailored therapy sessions, these professionals help adults enhance their listening skills, speech comprehension, and speech production.
At Monkey Mouths, our speech pathologists have received specialized training in aural rehab in order to design a specialized program for our adult patients with hearing needs.
