Nolan is definitely an "Av," we use key-word signing and he definitely uses lipreading to assist in understanding words. He can't discriminate the low frequency vowels sometimes, even with his hearing aids. So lipreading helps him hear that we are saying "Milk" and not "Nilk."leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05004783118268323560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6091894993679105378.post-87637663119625075002009-11-10T12:14:50.153-08:002009-11-10T12:14:50.153-08:00Hmm, curious to know--AVT stands for auditory-verb...Hmm, curious to know--AVT stands for auditory-verbal therapy, so wondered if somehow the Bell association is dropping the "verbal" word?<br /><br />Somehow it seems encouraging that they are using/emphasizing the word "visual".Dianrezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07077219189139398901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6091894993679105378.post-61350361042643134992009-11-10T10:40:38.807-08:002009-11-10T10:40:38.807-08:00Thanks for posting this.

It just goes to show that AGB Assoc. is not really the big bad monster so many Deaf people make them out to be.<br /><br />I totally agree that we all need to listen to what our children want and need, rather than force our own dreams on them. I think you're doing a great job with Miss Kat! :-)kimhttp://www.faceme.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
