The sisters described the limited availability of Auditory Verbal Therapy as “heart-breaking” adding they believe it to be a main factor in their “success in life”.
Sade Oram was fitted with her first cochlear implant at three-years-old, shortly after she said her first words at a Auditory Verbal UK therapy session.
Mother to the sisters, Victoria Oram, said: “When the girls started to say words it was just unreal.
“We thought they would never do that, it was incredible.”
After a year of Auditory Verbal Therapy Sade attended main stream school she said: “(I had) the same vocabulary, if not more, than my hearing peers.”
