The AV Approach.....
The Auditory Verbal Approach has been proven to be a viable communication option for children with significant hearing loss. All over the world, these children have been learning how to hear and speak. Now, with the advent of cochlear implants for profoundly deaf children and with this consultant’s landmark language research findings, Auditory Verbal development has become ‘the buzz word’ for parents of hard-of-hearing and deaf children.
A systematic empirically-based positive family-focused,
child-driven, objective-oriented intervention that is constructed on a
naturalistic cognitively-oriented auditory comprehension- developmental model
