Auditory-Verbal PhilosophyAuditory-Verbal International, Inc. Position
Statement
The Auditory-Verbal philosophy is a logical and critical set of guiding principles. These principles outline the essential requirements needed to realize the expectation that young children who are deaf or hard of hearing can be educated to use even minimal amounts of amplified residual hearing.
![Page 4: Early Identification and Effective Intervention: The Auditory-Verbal Approach Kathryn Wilson, M.A., CCC-SLP, Cert.AVT Sara Lake, B.A., J.D. February 20,](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5514d20655034640138b6108/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Use of amplified residual hearing in turn permits children who are deaf or hard of hearing to learn to listen, process verbal language, and to speak.
![Page 5: Early Identification and Effective Intervention: The Auditory-Verbal Approach Kathryn Wilson, M.A., CCC-SLP, Cert.AVT Sara Lake, B.A., J.D. February 20,](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5514d20655034640138b6108/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The goal of Auditory-Verbal practice is that children who are deaf or hard of hearing can grow up in regular learning and living environments enabling them to become independent, participating, and contributing citizens in mainstream society.
![Page 6: Early Identification and Effective Intervention: The Auditory-Verbal Approach Kathryn Wilson, M.A., CCC-SLP, Cert.AVT Sara Lake, B.A., J.D. February 20,](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5514d20655034640138b6108/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The Auditory-Verbal philosophy supports the basic human right that children with all degrees of hearing impairment deserve an opportunity to develop the ability to listen and to use verbal communication within their family and community constellations.

Expected Results of NHS and Technological
Advances:
Average age of identification will decrease Greater access to information about all
communication approaches Number of families seeking A-VT will
increase Need for Certified Auditory-Verbal
Therapists will increase More children will develop spoken language
through the Auditory-Verbal approach

Appropriate Amplification Technology
Hearing Aids Cochlear Implants FM Systems
In an A-V approach Therapist must possess and apply in-
depth knowledge of speech acoustics
![Page 13: Early Identification and Effective Intervention: The Auditory-Verbal Approach Kathryn Wilson, M.A., CCC-SLP, Cert.AVT Sara Lake, B.A., J.D. February 20,](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5514d20655034640138b6108/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Favorable Auditory Learning Environments
In an A-V approach All therapy is one-to-one Sessions are usually one time weekly
for 1 hr. to 1 hr. 30 minutes. Best conditions for verbal learning are
provided
![Page 14: Early Identification and Effective Intervention: The Auditory-Verbal Approach Kathryn Wilson, M.A., CCC-SLP, Cert.AVT Sara Lake, B.A., J.D. February 20,](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5514d20655034640138b6108/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
“At no time in a child’s life are the physical and acoustic conditions as favorable for listening as in early infancy.”
Daniel Ling, Ph.D
![Page 15: Early Identification and Effective Intervention: The Auditory-Verbal Approach Kathryn Wilson, M.A., CCC-SLP, Cert.AVT Sara Lake, B.A., J.D. February 20,](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5514d20655034640138b6108/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Integrating Talking and Listening into ALL Aspects of
Daily Life
In an A-V approach Audition is the primary sensory
modality Use of hearing for language acquisition is
unique to AVT Emphasis on auditory learning vs.
auditory training
![Page 16: Early Identification and Effective Intervention: The Auditory-Verbal Approach Kathryn Wilson, M.A., CCC-SLP, Cert.AVT Sara Lake, B.A., J.D. February 20,](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5514d20655034640138b6108/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Ongoing Assessment, Evaluation & Prognosis
In an A-V approach All therapy is DIAGNOSTIC An average or better than average
rate of progress is expected
![Page 17: Early Identification and Effective Intervention: The Auditory-Verbal Approach Kathryn Wilson, M.A., CCC-SLP, Cert.AVT Sara Lake, B.A., J.D. February 20,](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5514d20655034640138b6108/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Inclusion In Regular Schools
In an A-V approach Mainstream education is a critical
component Parents and AVT work in partnership to
secure appropriate services and placement
Similar expectations are established for children who are deaf/hh and those with normal hearing
![Page 18: Early Identification and Effective Intervention: The Auditory-Verbal Approach Kathryn Wilson, M.A., CCC-SLP, Cert.AVT Sara Lake, B.A., J.D. February 20,](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5514d20655034640138b6108/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Parents and/or Principal Caregivers as Primary Teachers
In an A-V approach Parents actively participate in ALL
sessions The parent is the primary student
during therapy sessions The parent is the primary teacher in
day-to-day life
![Page 19: Early Identification and Effective Intervention: The Auditory-Verbal Approach Kathryn Wilson, M.A., CCC-SLP, Cert.AVT Sara Lake, B.A., J.D. February 20,](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5514d20655034640138b6108/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Integration of Speech, Language, Audition and Cognition
In an A-V approach The normal developmental sequence
is followed Child’s hearing age serves as the
baseline vs. chronological age
![Page 20: Early Identification and Effective Intervention: The Auditory-Verbal Approach Kathryn Wilson, M.A., CCC-SLP, Cert.AVT Sara Lake, B.A., J.D. February 20,](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5514d20655034640138b6108/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

How to Access A-V Services Auditory-Verbal International,Inc. (AVI)
A-V Therapy has been practiced by pioneers since the 1940s and 1950s
With more widespread early identification and improved technology, A-V Therapy is an option increasingly chosen by parents
Luetke-Stahlman & Moeller (1987) 90% of parents of children with hearing impairment are typically hearing individuals
![Page 26: Early Identification and Effective Intervention: The Auditory-Verbal Approach Kathryn Wilson, M.A., CCC-SLP, Cert.AVT Sara Lake, B.A., J.D. February 20,](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5514d20655034640138b6108/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Discussion The Principles of A-VT outline the
essential components for young children to develop intelligible spoken language through listening.
The role of audition in processing spoken language and parents as primary models are two major differences in A-VT from other approaches.
![Page 43: Early Identification and Effective Intervention: The Auditory-Verbal Approach Kathryn Wilson, M.A., CCC-SLP, Cert.AVT Sara Lake, B.A., J.D. February 20,](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5514d20655034640138b6108/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Discussion Research supports the efficacy of the
Auditory-Verbal approach.
Information regarding the Auditory-Verbal approach, certification, and professional training is available through Auditory-Verbal International, Inc.
![Page 44: Early Identification and Effective Intervention: The Auditory-Verbal Approach Kathryn Wilson, M.A., CCC-SLP, Cert.AVT Sara Lake, B.A., J.D. February 20,](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5514d20655034640138b6108/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Conclusions Children identified early and
enrolled in Auditory-Verbal Therapy can acquire developmentally appropriate communication skills.
Auditory-Verbal Therapy is an effective intervention for newly identified infants, toddlers, and children whose parents have chosen spoken language as the desired communication outcome.
