Auditory Verbal Therapy

Helping deaf babies and children to listen, talk and participate fully in society.

Auditory VerbalUK is a national charity which teaches deaf babies and children to listen and speak using Auditory Verbal Therapy, so that they can achieve their potential in life.

A deaf baby is born in the UK every 12 hours. In early years, children with a hearing impairment are given access to sound through hearing aids and cochlear implants, but need to be taught during infancy how to listen and communicate. After three years of parent-focused Auditory Verbal Therapy, over 80% of the deaf and hearing-impaired children we see close the language gap and enter mainstream schools. We work directly with 60 families at any one time and reach out to many more through our programmes of professional training.

“Anna was upset to get the narrator's part and not an acting part in the school nativity play - apparently it's because she's got the clearest voice!! Funny how things turn out."
