 Auditory-Oral Approach

  The auditory-oral approach is challenging and requires intensive work by the children, teachers and parents alike. It takes expertise and systematic effort to help children interpret and use the sounds they hear after obtaining hearing aids or a cochlear implant to develop spoken language. While progress comes rapidly for some children and gradually for others, ultimately most students who complete our program(s) succeed in mainstream schools.
