Auditory Verbal UK

Auditory Verbal UK (AVUK) supports deaf babies and children to learn to listen and speak with Auditory Verbal therapy. Auditory Verbal therapy is a family-centred, early intervention approach which equips parents and caregivers with the tools needed to support the optimum development of their deaf child’s listening and spoken language. It supports pre-school deaf children, from birth to five years of age, learn how to make sense of the sound they receive through their hearing technology, like cochlear implants and hearing aids, and develop spoken language so they can learn to talk like their hearing friends.

AVUK’s Auditory Verbal therapy family programme includes fortnightly therapy sessions. All therapy sessions are delivered by a highly specialist certified Auditory Verbal Therapist, who is a teacher of the deaf, speech and language therapist or audiologist who has undergone a minimum of three years additional post-graduate internationally accredited training.

As a charity, AVUK is able to offer sessions both in person at its location in Yorkshire (Roundhay, Leeds), online or using a hybrid approach of both depending on the needs and preferences of each family.
