Auditory-Verbal International, Inc (AVI) is a private non-profit international membership organization whose principle objective is to promote listening and speaking as a way of life for children who are deaf or hard of hearing. AVI's goals are to heighten public awareness of the auditory-verbal approach, ensure certification standards for Auditory-Verbal clinicians and teachers, provide quality educational opportunities for parents and professionals, and facilitate networking among the professional and lay communities. The goal of the auditory-verbal approach is for children who are deaf or hard of hearing to grow up in regular classrooms and living environments and to become independent, participating citizens in mainstream society.
