Auditory Verbal Therapy
Auditory Verbal Therapy(AVT) is an early intervention comprehensive family centered approach for infants and children, where the caregivers are central to the therapy and its outcomes. This approach equips and empowers families with the tools to support the development of listening and spoken language through various daily routine activities. Caregivers are empowered with different strategies and techniques to reach the goals that are set for their child. Caregivers are coached and guided by the therapists to work on different aspects for the best outcomes for every child. The various components of Auditory Verbal Therapy are:
- One on One therapy with the infant/child, caregiver and family
