Every Monday afternoon, we travel to CHKD for Auditory-Verbal Therapy (AVT), with Miss Barb. Today Sean had an awesome AVT session, demonstrating that the CI's are
working and that he is making great progress, in such a short amount of
time "hearing!"
Q: What is Auditory-Verbal Therapy (AVT)
A: Auditory-Verbal therapy is a specialized type of therapy designed to teach a child
to use the hearing provided by a hearing aid or a cochlear implant for understanding
speech and learning to talk. The child is taught to develop hearing as an
active sense so that listening becomes automatic and the child seeks out sounds in life.
Hearing and active listening become an integral part of communication, recreation,
socialization, education and work.
