Introducing the first book about LSL AVT in Portuguese!

Auditory-Verbal Therapy (AVT) is an evidence-based, family-centered early intervention approach that supports the needs of children who are deaf or hard of hearing.

Accessibility is crucial when it comes to learning how to provide AVT intervention, and while there are many publications in English, there are very limited publications in other languages.

This new book marks a significant milestone in learning how to provide AVT and Listening and Spoken Language development. Learn more about the first book published in Portuguese to support children who are DHH learning to listen and talk in Portuguese-speaking homes: https://bit.ly/4e5blrR

Deafness shouldn’t be a barrier.

At AG Bell, we believe that every child should have the chance to develop the skills and explore the passions that all kids enjoy—hearing loss shouldn’t be a barrier to this. By empowering deaf and hard of hearing children to pursue their interests, they can not only overcome challenges but even turn their deafness into a unique strength!

Early intervention is key when it comes to diagnosing hearing loss in children.
Families facing this challenge often say that the resources and support they receive make all the difference, and the sooner they access that support, the better the outcome.
