{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"Self-monitoring with clear analysis","description":"Self-monitoring is the invisible skill that allows children to reflect, adapt, and regulate, so as to learn independently and grow.\n\nIn this seventeenth episode, Shefali Shah demonstrates with three-and-a-half and four year old deaf children  how Auditory-Verbal Therapy systematically fosters the ability to self-monitor speech intelligibility and language usage.\n\nAs listening becomes deeply internalised, a deaf or hard of hearing child begins to observe herself, spontaneously modifying her language and speech, to align with increasing accuracy with the patterns she hears around her. This intentional shift in responsibility is central to Auditory-Verbal Therapy and is in accordance with Principle 8.\n\nSelf-monitoring is both subtle and powerful as it characterises the independent learner.\n\nThis is The Sound Steps Podcast.\n\n🎧 Top Tips from Episode 17\n\nFollow Principle 8 of AVT. Professionals and caregivers support the child in self-monitoring her spoken language through listening.\nFoster maturity for self-regulation: Children learn to observe, monitor, and adjust their language and speech, to align with expectations.\nSelf-regulation is foundational: Self-regulation sets the stage for independent learning.\nSpeech clarity through listening: Self-monitoring ensures spontaneous, continuous adjustment of speech and language based on the auditory feedback loop.\nPull back intentionally. Parents and professionals gradually withdraw active correction, giving space for the child to monitor and self-correct.\nPractice matters: Finely tuned listening skills support accurate imitation of speech and language norms.\n\nTime Stamps:\n\n00:00:00 Introduction\n00:01:30  90% of deaf children are born to hearing parents\n00:01:39 Choosing Auditory-Verbal Therapy for your deaf or hard of hearing child\n00:02:14 AVT facilitates age-appropriate development\n00:02:40 Abundant choices open up through AVT\n00:03:07 Early identification and the fitting of early and optimal amplification.\n00:03:15 A life free of limitations\n00:03:23 Show notes, Top tips and Time Stamps\n00:03:34 Links and contact details\n00:03:43 Resources\n00:03:49 Principle 8 of AVT: Self-monitoring\n00:04:07 Meaning of self-monitoring\n00:05:17 Self-monitoring critical to independent learning\n00:05:30 An efficient tool to maintain speech intelligibility\n00:06:08 Self-Practice\n00:07:34 Intentional pull back\n00:08:05 Analysis of short demo\n00:14:13 Reflection\n00:15:02 Our next episode: Clear Speech\n\nResources:\n\n💬 Submit your question to the show: https://www.soundsteps.uk/podcast-ask-question/\n👩‍⚕️ Face-to-face AVT with Shefali Shah (London): https://soundsteps.uk\n🌐 Online AVT sessions available via AVT Direct: https://avtdirect.com\n🎓 Train online as an LSL professional in AVT: https://learnavt.com\n📧 Contact Shefali directly: shefalishah@soundsteps.uk (mailto:shefalishah@soundsteps.uk)\n\n📚 Resources\n\nFor Professionals & Parents\n\nEstabrooks, D., Morrison, H.
