Pediatric Auditory Verbal Therapy.

AVT For Your Child.

Does your child have hearing differences? Do you want him/her to learn to listen and talk? If so, then Auditory-Verbal Therapy (AVT) may be the right fit for your family. AVT is a listening and spoken language (LSL) approach that helps newborns, infants, toddlers, and young children develop speech and language skills through listening using their residual hearing in addition to consistent use of hearing aid(s) and/or cochlear implant(s).

Parent-Centered Approach.

At Monkey Mouths, our auditory verbal therapists utilize a parent coaching therapy style to teach children who have hearing differences to listen and talk. We use a child’s residual hearing combined with amplification to stimulate the brain and grow listening skills. AVT is a parent centered approach in which the parent(s) and AV therapist work together during therapy sessions to develop goals, learn strategies, and ask/answer questions so that, ultimately, the child can develop listening skills and intelligible spoken language similar to typical hearing peers.

Listen & Talk.

Auditory verbal therapy (AVT) is a type of therapy that helps children with hearing challenges learn how to listen and talk. A trained therapist works closely with a child and their family to develop strong listening and speaking skills. The therapy focuses on using hearing aids or cochlear implants to maximize the child’s ability to hear and understand speech. Through structured exercises and activities, AVT helps individuals become more independent in their communication.
