Objectives

Auditory Verbal UK (AVUK) is an award winning national charity that is transforming the lives of deaf children across the UK. Over the next few years, the charity plans to: double the number of pre-school children and families supported by its innovative early intervention programme; significantly increase the number of Auditory Verbal Therapists in the UK through its internationally accredited training approach; further its profile and influence; and grow and diversify its income streams across the public and private sectors so that deaf children have the same opportunities in life as their hearing peers.

We want to raise expectations and outcomes for deaf children. We work to increase awareness, understanding and access to Auditory Verbal therapy by providing services directly to families and sharing our expertise with health and education professionals so that many more families can access Auditory Verbal therapy close to where they live.

Activities

Our organisational focus is in four main areas:

  • Supporting families through our early intervention programme.
  • Training professionals through our internationally accredited training programme.
  • Conducting research to strengthen the evidence base for our work.
  • Increasing awareness and expectations of what deaf children can achieve.
