Newly available therapy gains popularity on Chinese mainland

Taiwan native and entrepreneur Kenny Cheng frequents the Chinese mainland, but not for sight-seeing or business.

Cheng is the president of the Taipei-based Children's Hearing Foundation, which has been cooperating with the China Rehabilitation and Research Center for Deaf Children since 2008 to promote auditory-verbal therapy on the mainland.

The foundation is the first and only organization worldwide that has transformed AVT from English into Mandarin, despite the great difference between the languages.
