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.

Home-based intervention to improve your child’s communication skills

Ms Kim Chadda helps in identifying different home-based interventions that can help you to improve your child's communication skills. 

In this video Special Educator & Auditory Verbal Therapist (AVT), Ms.Kim Chadda helps find ways to improve a child’s communication skills while engaging in everyday chores around the house.

It is important to remember to use verbal language when speaking to the child even if he/she uses gestures/signs/movement to communicate. It is always beneficial to constantly communicate when engaging in everyday activities — feeding, dressing, bathing, playing, etc. It is beneficial to use everyday repetitive tasks as means to help build a child’s language, memory, cognitive abilities and social communication skills.
