15th ANNUAL EARLY HEARING DETECTION & INTERVENTION MEETING
March 13-15, 2016 • San Diego, CA
2/22/2011 | 1:45 PM - 2:45 PM | Topical Session 6 | Hazelnut (M3)
Cued Speech for Parents
With 90% of deaf and hard of hearing children born to hearing families, visual access to language is not immediately available to a child identified with a hearing loss. Parents can learn the system of Cued Speech in 12 - 15 hours and gain fluency within months, thus providing visual access to the language of the home in a relatively short amount of time.
- This session will explain how Cued Speech works, discuss why hearing parents should cue, how kids learn to cue, how parents can get started with cueing, and tips for gaining fluency and developing language in their children.
