15th ANNUAL EARLY HEARING DETECTION & INTERVENTION MEETING
March 13-15, 2016 • San Diego, CA
| - | 3 - Language Acquisition and Development
Using Cued Speech in the Home
Cued Speech is a visual mode of communication in which mouth movements of speech combine with 'cues' to make the sounds (phonemes) of traditional spoken languages look different. Cueing allows users who are deaf, hard of hearing, or who have language/communication disorders to access the basic, fundamental properties of spoken languages through the use of vision. Cued Speech can be used with children from birth to immerse them in the language of the home, from babbling to playing with sounds, to words, to conversation, no speaking or hearing required!
- State how Cued Speech can support language acquisition.
- Define Cued Speech.
- Give examples of how Cued Speech can be used at home.
