Auditory-Verbal Therapy
What is it?
“It is a way of guiding parents to teach their children with a hearing impairment to develop spoken language by stimulating their residual hearing.”
|
 |
Early diagnosis and quick fitting of hearing aids or cochlear implant. |
|
Parent centred approach where therapists and parents are partners. |
|
Importance given to “learning to listen” by stimulating the child's residual hearing, so that he develops natural spoken language. |
|
Fostering of mother's participation in the child's therapy sessions, in order to learn how to teach her child in the routines of daily life. |
|
Home visits for the successful implementation of the home programme. |
|
Ultimate goal of integrating the child into regular schools. |
| |
All this is done at very nominal charges |
