š§Top Tips from Episode 5
- Conversation is both the means and the end goal. Use Conversation to develop Conversational Competence. Children learn to listen in Conversation.
- Auditory-Verbal Therapy pre-supposes optimal auditory access. In order for deaf or hard of hearing children to listen and talk, they must hear clearly across the speech spectrum.
- Auditory-Verbal Therapy is both a Science and an Art. AVT must be based on the science of audiology, speech acoustics and child development. The style of the individual therapist in delivering AVT, represents the art of it.
- Demonstrate success. Seeing results is hugely motivating.
- Draw on typical development. Use the developmental milestones in children with typical hearing, especially for children with additional challenges.
- Suprises are key. Preserve the element of surprise for both parent and child in your practice.
- Ā 3 Dimensional Conversation: (Morrison, H.,)
- Quality inputĀ Provide an enriched input.
- Guide Conversation in everyday situations.
- Purposeful responses from both parent and child and other participating adults
- Use the OWL strategy (Hanen Centre) Train the non-verbal power of Observation in parents
- Wait: This is a powerful AV Technique
- Act out a scenario: Create stories to hold attention
