Auditory-Verbal Therapy (AVT)
At Aaroh Early Intervention Centre – Cochlear Implant Center, our Auditory-Verbal Therapy (AVT) program is designed to help children with hearing loss—especially those using cochlear implants or hearing aids—develop listening, speech, and language skills through structured, evidence-based auditory training.
AVT focuses on teaching children to use their residual hearing or newly gained auditory access to understand spoken language and communicate effectively. Our certified auditory-verbal therapists work closely with parents and caregivers, making them active participants in the therapy process to reinforce listening and communication in daily life.
Our Auditory-Verbal Therapy services include:
- Comprehensive Listening Assessment: Evaluating the child’s auditory, speech, and language abilities to design an individualized therapy plan.
- Parent-Centered Training: Empowering parents to use listening and spoken language techniques during everyday interactions.
- Listening and Speech Development: Structured sessions focusing on auditory comprehension, speech clarity, and vocabulary building.
- Auditory Skill Hierarchy: Step-by-step training from sound awareness to comprehension of complex spoken language.
- Progress Monitoring: Regular assessment and modification of therapy goals to ensure consistent improvement.
- Home-Based Activities: Practical guidance for parents to continue auditory learning beyond the therapy room.
Through AVT, children learn to listen and speak naturally, allowing them to attend mainstream schools and communicate confidently with family and peers. The approach emphasizes listening as the foundation for language and cognitive development, leading to long-term communication success.
At Aaroh, we believe that early, consistent, and family-centered auditory-verbal therapy can transform a child’s life. Our dedicated team ensures that every child reaches their full potential in hearing, understanding, and speaking the language of sound.
