How is Auditory-Verbal Therapy different from other kinds of therapy?
Many therapists provide services to improve communication skills of children with hearing impairments. Some therapists teach American Sign Language, while others use total communication, cued speech, or techniques used in their community. Few professionals, approximately 205 in the world, are certified as Auditory Verbal therapists who are equipped for providing therapy sessions, parent training, and education services needed to maximize the child’s use of hearing as a primary sense for speaking and learning at school.
