this may also provide additional information to your readers who may know of families with children diagnosed as having hearing loss:

For almost 11 years, CLASP Auditory Verbal Center- Manila has been of service to families with children diagnosed as having hearing loss. Most of our children had developed listening skills which allowed them to understand and acquire spoken language. Using the auditory-verbal therapy (AVT) as a method of teaching, it enabled them to partake in the mainstream society.

Our center is motivated to help them in the same manner that we have provided for our children who are now actively participating in regular schools and in their respective communities.

For more information or if you wish to see our children during therapy, you may contact us through (02) 7274864, 09179029516, clasp_avt@yahoo.com, our website: http://www.clasp.com.ph, or at our facebook account: CLASP Auditory Verbal Center.
