RESEARCH QUESTIONS
1. Regardless of intervention age, is the Auditory-Verbal Approach a viable communication option?
2. What rate of syntactical language growth is considered to be typical and therefore the potential standard?
3. Does the gap between CA and LA either narrow or close over time?

STATISTICAL ANALYSESLanguage age equivalency scores,
as a function of year in therapy, were subjected to repeated measures of covariance (ANCOVA)
with the actual number of months between test times as the covariate. The main effect of time was significant in each,
i.e., significant improvements in equivalent language ages were found as a function of each year in auditory-verbal therapy.

WHY DOES RECEPTIVE LANGUAGE GROWTH SLOW DOWN IN THIRD YEAR?
Possible Explanation:Possible Explanation:
Perhaps there is a prolonged period of accommodation demonstrating discontinuity in language growth as postulated by J. Kagan.
This may be a time of internalization due to great structural alterations in the child’s linguistic knowledge.

WHY DOES EXPRESSIVE LANGUAGE GROWTH SPURT FORTH DURING THE FOURTH YEAR?
Possible Explanation:Possible Explanation:
The child, as a vessel, has built up a sufficient reservoir of receptive language skills.
The vessel runneth over.

• 1/2 Hearing Aid Users• All but 1 had A-V services initiated after 3 yrs CA• 1 w/ significant family issues• 1 w/ TC background• 43% referred for SI issues• 36% referred for oral-motor issues

STATISTICAL ANALYSISOver time, the rate of language growth for a-v children exceeded the expected rate of language growth for normally hearing children.
At the point of “graduation,” the differences between language ages and chronological ages were negligible.
This was confirmed by repeated measures analysis of variance.
![Page 29: LANGUAGE GROWTH with the AUDITORY-VERBAL APPROACH for CHILDREN with SIGNIFICANT HEARING LOSS](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815c7e550346895dca95be/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
A BENCHMARK100% Average Rate of
Language Growth per year can be expected
for the Typical Child with Severe-Profound Deafness
with an Auditory-Verbal Approach
![Page 30: LANGUAGE GROWTH with the AUDITORY-VERBAL APPROACH for CHILDREN with SIGNIFICANT HEARING LOSS](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815c7e550346895dca95be/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The gap between LA and CA can be closed for at least
some children, regardless of prosthetic device used,
as a result of auditory-verbal therapy.

FINDING
Children with profound prelingual deafness CAN
acquire native communicative competence in spoken English,
regardless of hearing prosthesis (cochlear implant and/or hearing aid)

RISK IS NOT DESTINY
Average age of AVT initiation - 44 months
While there is wide agreement that children who don’t receive appropriate auditory stimulation during their developmental prime time are at increased risk for language delays, we also must remember that children can thrive despite adverse conditions; they can develop or recover significant capacities even after critical periods have passed to sustain hope for every child.
The notion of a critical period for language development needs to be carefully qualified.
According to neuroscience/brain research, the window of opportunity for language development seems to be open from birth to about age 10.
