8: Living the Auditory-Verbal Targets
Welcome to The Sound Steps Podcast: Conversations in Auditory-Verbal Therapy - exploring the transformative power of listening to develop fluent spoken language, conversational competence, clear speech, and age-appropriate development in children who are deaf or hard of hearing, one sound step at a time.
Language carries meaning when it fulfils a child’s need to connect, to talk, to communicate a thought or to be understood. It is then that language is quickly learned.
In Episode 8, Shefali Shah’s conversation with Rashi Sanghi and Sheena Kurian gives these mothers an opportunity to reflect on how they follow-through on therapy targets throughout their day with their cochlear implanted child.
Drawing on real-life situations with their deaf or hard of hearing children, Shefali remodels and re-frames these examples so that the context conveys meaning. As a result, the child truly understands and learns, Living the Targets in Auditory-Verbal Therapy.
Each carefully crafted exchange sets the child up for success.
Planning, structuring, and staying responsive become part of the parenting rhythm, making life fun!

🎯 Top Tips from Episode 8
Focus on the pragmatics of language. Every communication should fulfil a purpose or need within your child.
Structure follow-up meaningfully. Set up activities so that your child wants to participate and talk.
Integrate listening into every interaction. Design exchanges where your child so wants to participate, that she listens intently.
Set your child up for success. Use familiar language, and introduce only one new element at a time, in the early days.
Follow-up is fun! Living and learning with your deaf or hard of hearing child should be fun.
