Families often contact us soon after their baby has failed their newborn hearing screening. Feelings of shock and uncertainty are common, and we offer a safe and non-judgemental place to share these feelings, so families can start to acknowledge and understand the rollercoaster of emotions they are facing.

Early and effective support is vital so deaf children are able to develop their language and communication skills. All deaf babies and children should have access to early and effective support whether they use sign language, spoken language or both. Auditory Verbal therapy is one of the support options available to families of deaf children.

At Auditory Verbal UK we support deaf babies and children to learn to listen and speak through Auditory Verbal therapy. Our specialist family centred Auditory Verbal programme supports and equips parents and caregivers with the tools they need to help their deaf child process the sound they get from hearing technology, like cochlear implants and hearing aids, and develop their listening and spoken language in the first few years of their lives.
