“Auditory-Verbal Therapy facilitates optimal acquisition of spoken language through listening by newborns, infants, toddlers, and young children who are deaf or hard of hearing."

 

Auditory Verbal Therapy (AVT) is a very specific type of therapy for children with hearing loss and their families who have chosen to use spoken language communication. Today, more than any other time in history, infants and children with hearing loss are developing speech and language skills equal to their hearing peers. 

 

Edwards AVT Consulting promotes early diagnosis, one-on-one therapy, and state-of-the-art audiologic management and technology where parents and caregivers can actively participate in therapy.

 

Through our guidance, coaching, and demonstration, parents become the primary facilitators of their child’s spoken language development. Ultimately, parents and caregivers gain confidence that their child can have access to a full range of academic, social, and occupational choices.
