Most critical concept in all of AV thinking is the concept of "The Listening Function".
Integrate hearing into the personality of the child with poor auditory acuity.
This is the goal of AVT and this goal (in the estimation of many) is what separates AVT from other treatments.
What does an AVT do? “help a child with hearing loss develop an auditory function”. This expectation and attitude permeates all our we do in the therapy process.
The concept of an Auditory Function is mentioned in the work of Doreen Pollack, Daniel Ling, Helen Beebe, Arthur Boothroyd, and Judith Simser.
