Cueing: A Visual Option to Aid Language and Literacy
Join us in our weekly sessions where we explore methods in teaching and improving upon the use of Cued Language (aka Cued Speech), a well-respected visual support to verbal language, which allows for 100% visibility in lipreading.
Cueing was initially created by a professor of physics at Gallaudet University in Washington DC, for the express purpose of improving literacy in d/Deaf and Hard of Hearing college students.
Research has since demonstrated that cueing can successfully improve phonological awareness in children with a variety of difficulties related to verbal language access.
