How the AV approach supports communication strategies
Auditory Verbal therapy integrates the development of listening and talking into all aspects of the child’s social, emotional, cognitive, and cultural experiences, so that listening becomes an integral part of his or her life (Estabrooks, Morrison, Maclver-Lux, 2020)29.
AVT supports communications strategies through:
- Parent Coaching
- Play
- Listening & Spoken Language Strategies:
- Collaborative working
See Auditory Verbal UK’s policy on Co-working.
- Literacy
LSLS Cert AVTs Frances Clark and Louise Ashton have developed a resource called Turning Pages Through the Ages: Engaging Children through Books about books to use developmentally with activity and language ideas.
- Theory of Mind
For further information, Hearing First has developed an information sheet all about Theory of Mind: What it is and how your child can develop it.
