Auditory Verbal UK

Auditory Verbal UK (AVUK) is a charity that is supporting the families of deaf children across the UK to have the same opportunities in life as their hearing friends. Its specialist programme enables deaf children to learn to listen and talk, by equipping their parents with all the tools they need to help their children to process the sound they get from hearing technology, like cochlear implants, and develop their language in the first few years of their lives.

Khush’s Story

Khush’s Story
When Khush was diagnosed profoundly deaf as a baby his parents feared he wouldn’t be able to talk or do the same things as other children. But, at AVUK, Khush learnt to listen and speak just like his hearing friends.

Lifelong benefits
80% of children on Auditory Verbal UK’s specialist programme for two or more years achieve the same spoken language as children of their age, giving them an equal start at school and lifelong benefits.
