Even if your child’s hearing loss is severe to profound, their therapist may be able to teach them how to listen and communicate through spoken language. Parents and other caregivers actively take part in the therapy lessons and continue the activities at home.The goal of auditory-verbal therapy (AVT) is for your child who is deaf or hard of hearing to learn, listen and have the same ability to speak as children who can hear. Children who go through auditory-verbal therapy generally succeed in mainstream education. They excel in math and reading, make friends, gain self-esteem and live with independence. While hearing aids and cochlear implants help your child hear sounds, they must still learn how to interpret those signals.How long does auditory-verbal therapy last?

This depends on the program you join. Your healthcare provider will make recommendations based on your child’s age, progress, and the type of hearing technology they use.

The program usually lasts three years or more. It’s very important that you attend the sessions with your child, so work around your schedule, as well as theirs. Remember, what’s most important is that you work with your child outside of sessions, as well as during them!
