This is only the tip of the iceberg! Remember that it is possible to critique something that presents as science without calling it fake. The issues with the current studies may inflate the perceived success of Auditory-Verbal Therapy (AVT). The apparent efficacy of AVT is often not evidence of the method itself, but rather a reflection of which children are enrolled, what resources they have, and how the studies are designed.   Video transcript: I made a comment recently that a certain therapeutic approach being pseudoscience. I understand that most people think of “pseudo” to mean “fake.” I don’t mean that AVT is fake, I mean that it is almost science. It has certain components that are scientific but it lacks significant evidence. So maybe a better term would be “quasiscience.” Semantics aside, this what I mean: AVT may have good data and it may have really good intentions, but it still lacks strong empirical support. A lot of these studies have lots of confounding variables. They may have anecdotal or cherry-picked evidence. They may, when certain techniques don’t work, they blame them on the family, blame them on the child, right? The child didn’t try hard enough, didn’t go to therapy often enough. There’s participant selection bias, there’s publication and professional bias. The outcome measures are extremely narrow and they don’t actually account for language. Confounding variables often aren’t adjusted for, aren’t accounted for. And so what happens is children who already have good access, and already have good listening skills do well with AVT and it makes it look like AVT works for most kids. All that to say, studies on AVT lack the rigor to be convincing that the method works.   Don’t take our word for it! Here are some reviews that found that little evidence can be found on the effectiveness of AVT (Brennan-Jones et al., 2014), that the research often contains methodological problems (Eriks-Brophy, 2004), and that the lack of well-controlled studies undermines the case that the approach is effective (Binos et al, 2021).   Binos, P., Nirgianaki, E., & Psillas, G.
