Abstract: |
Accessing the phonemic stream of English using Cued Speech ensures clear communication building the foundation for literacy skills. Cued Speech has been misunderstood by the Deaf community and educators of the deaf and hard of hearing since it was developed in 1966. This presentation will dispel many of the myths regarding Cued Speech and present information on current research on the efficacy of cueing with deaf and hard of hearing children.
Cued Speech will be demonstrated and questions about common misperceptions answered. Here are some of the topics that will be discussed:
1) The original reason why Cued Speech was developed.
2) How Cued Speech helps deaf or hard of hearing children acquire the language of their home as their primary language
3) How Cued Speech aids the acquisition of listening and spoken language
4) How Cued Speech aids the acquisition of American Sign Language
5) Why should a family consider cueing if they have strong listening and spoken language goals for their child
Participants will be given many resources about Cued Speech to share with families and professionals, including information about where to find support for families across the country.
