Who provides Auditory-Verbal services?
AVUK has two Certified Auditory-Verbal Therapists® (see the meet the team section). Elsewhere in the UK two paediatric cochlear implant services, Birmingham and Manchester, have certified auditory verbal therapists® on their teams. They have been specially trained for this work. Some other therapists in the UK are not certified but do follow the principles of the Auditory-Verbal philosophy. Talking to a prospective therapist will let you know his or her beliefs and practices; meeting children and parents from various programs will help you find the most appropriate programme for your child.
