Why choose the Auditory-Verbal approach?

Because it works!

Never before in the history of deaf education has there been such access to hearing for children with hearing loss. With improved technology in hearing aids and cochlear implants, the vast majority of these children can gain sufficient hearing potential to learn to listen and to develop spoken language. Technological and medical devices only give children access to hearing. Whether children learn to use this hearing depends on the therapy that they receive once they have been given this potential. In the Auditory-Verbal approach, spoken language is developed through listening and is an ideal teaching method for the beginning auditory learner.
