Mission

Auditory Verbal UK wants to see a world where deaf children have the same opportunities as their hearing peers. Our programme of early intervention, Auditory Verbal therapy, supports deaf babies and children aged 0-5 to develop their listening and speaking skills. We work with families from across the UK from our two centres in London and Bicester. We want all families to have the option to access Auditory Verbal therapy close to where they live if they would like their child to listen and speak. To realise this ambition, we deliver this specialised early intervention support directly to families and deliver internationally accredited training programmes to professionals working in the hearing impairement field.
