I'm actually trying to learn cued speech. The only material for learning
that I have right now is a 3 hour training tape that is streamed from
www.cfv.org. Does anyone else know of free learning resources? Cued speech
might be a good option for some of my clients but I have to learn it first.
Also there might come a time when I meet someone who uses it and if there is
one thing I don't like it's having to rely on interpreters. (Smile)

I would probably use the cued speech more for phonics work, to show the
relationship between letters and sound.

PS. I'm hearing, functionally blind.

"Cued Speech is not a very well known option, but it is gaining in
popularity because of reading levels.

The average child using sign language graduates with a third grade
reading level.

The average Cued Speech child graduates from high school with college
level reading abilities.

Many children who switch from ASL to Cued Speech make-up 2-3 years in
their reading levels in one school year."

I think this knowledge should be made public.
