In this video Special Educator & Auditory Verbal Therapist (AVT), Ms Kim Chadda talks Role of Auditory Verbal Therapy. She also talks about the importance of follow-ups & setting up habilitation (a process that will help the equipment fit better & suit the needs of the child) goals after a child with hearing loss is fitted with either a hearing-aid/cochlear implant. Soon after the fitting of the hearing aid/implant habilitation teaches the child to ‘learn’ to listen, which is enhanced by the reinforcement of good listening & language practices at home through active parent involvement. It is important to follow up regularly on the habilitation goals after fitting a hearing aid/implant to the child. 

See the above video to further understand the role and benefits of Auditory-Verbal Therapy for children with hearing impairment.
