Inspired by the work of the pioneers of Auditory-Verbal Therapy (AVT), this comprehensive book respectfully offers detailed, in-depth knowledge and insights about the science, research, and practice of AVT for current and future generations of AVT practitioners. Edited by world renown experts with contributions by a global cohort of authors, Auditory-Verbal Therapy: Science, Research, and Practice is highly relevant to today s community of practitioners of Auditory-Verbal Therapy (LSLS Cert. AVT), and to those who are working towards LSLS Cert. AVT certification. It is also an excellent resource for audiologists, speech-language pathologists, teachers of children who are deaf or hard of hearing, administrators, psychologists, cochlear implant surgeons, primary care physicians, social workers, and other allied health and education professionals.
