#AVTchat 4: Techniques And Second Language Learning

The fourth Twitter #AVTchat hosted by Sound Advice for engaged parents, is shared here. Primary topics were ideas for home AVT sessions (a therapist typically will suggest these) and learning a second spoken language, when the first is actively learned.

Talking To Young Children Grows Their Brains

With a child’s oral vocabulary at age two (speaking & understanding) predicting academic and behavioural outcomes in later years, parents can ask how to teach their baby about sound and meaning.

#AVTchat 2: “Reading Skills and Auditory-Verbal Therapy”

Reading books aloud immerses infants with digital hearing devices in words and sentences, with this early exposure giving many strong spelling and grammar skills for life.
