Qualify "many". Every piece of evidence I have seen is that there are very few cuers in the U.S. One of the main reasons that it is ineffective for communication. Conversely, ASL is currently the 3rd most popular language being learned at the post secondary level.
Please explain how cueing can support receptive skills when the speaker is not cueing. That makes absolutley no sense. If the cues are not present, they cannot support receptive skills. One has to be able to receive them in order for them to be supportive, and if a speaker is not cueing, the deaf receiver has nothing to receive except spoken language.
