Aural verbal therapy is a spoken language intervention that requires teachers and parents to work closely together. AVT intervention includes a series of techniques, philosophy, goals and strategies in order to create the best and most effective outcome for deaf and hard of hearing children. A principle of the AVT is to “promote education in regular schools with peers with typical hearing and with adequate services from early childhood onwards”. (www.agbellacademy.org/principal-auditory.htm). This principle is part of the long-term goal that has been put in place for deaf and hard of hearing children to grow up to be active and independent members of mainstream society. To achieve this principle children are placed in the mainstream classroom despite their degree of hearing loss. Placing children in a regular classroom with the appropriate amplification that fits their specific needs allows the child to practice and extend spoken language, as well as participate in the regular academic program and social curriculum. There are many important aspects when implementing auditory verbal therapy. There is a strong correlation between the success of AVT and timely implementation of the intervention. Since the intervention requires and emphasizes the importance of parental intervention, it is also important that parents can be involved and have strong skills. Finally, the use of emerging technologies and methods is key. It is important to use the most up-to-date tools and programs that can improve your child's listening, speaking and language development.

AVT also gives the child the ability to communicate in a language with which the parent is already familiar. The disadvantages of AVT are that it requires a lot of time and effort. If the child fails in this specific intervention approach, it will lead to language delays and may have a negative effect on the child's self-esteem and adjustment to hearing loss..
