What is AVT?

Auditory Verbal Therapy (AVT) is a specialized approach aimed at helping individuals with hearing loss develop listening and spoken language skills. Using hearing aids or cochlear implants, AVT teaches individuals to integrate auditory input into everyday communication, promoting natural language acquisition through active listening and verbal practice.

 

Why is AVT Important?

AVT is essential because it empowers individuals with hearing loss to develop effective communication skills, crucial for success in education, social interactions, and daily life. By focusing on auditory learning, AVT helps children achieve language milestones with their peers and enables adults to enhance their communication abilities, leading to greater independence and improved quality of life.
