Auditory-Verbal Therapy/Listening and Spoken Language services for Children with Hearing Impairment
Our experienced providers of auditory-verbal therapy (AVT) empower families of children with hearing loss to help them learn to listen and talk. Through close partnership with Wake Forest Baptist's pediatric audiologists and cochlear implant team, we support patients to utilize optimized hearing technology in order to access and develop listening and spoken language.

High Quality, Family-Centered Care
All of our speech-language pathologists hold national certification from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) and licensure from the state of North Carolina. Also, many are Beckman Oral Motor Approach certified, certified lactation consultants, Sequential Oral Sensory (SOS) approach trained, Board Certified Specialists in Swallowing and Swallowing Disorders (BCS-S), VitalStim® Therapy certified, registered MBSImP® clinicians, and/or National Association of Neonatal Therapists (NANT) members.
In addition to being highly trained, they use a family-centered approach focused on empowering caregivers to use techniques and strategies outside of the therapy setting so that goals can be met across environments.
