Listening and Spoken Language (LSL)

Listening and Spoken Language (LSL) is an approach focused on developing a child's ability to understand and use spoken communication. It emphasizes the use of hearing, often with assistive devices like hearing aids or cochlear implants, to access spoken words and sounds. Through targeted therapy and consistent practice, children learn to interpret language through listening and to express themselves verbally. The goal is to enable children, especially those who are deaf or hard of hearing, to communicate effectively in everyday life by strengthening their natural auditory and spoken language skills.
