Just wondering - why don't more people use cued speech? I had never heard of it until I was in college, and there was a deaf student in my class who had a cued speech transliterator.

To me it seems to make more sense than SEE, because children learn the phonetics of the English word and not just the meaning. But it sounds like more people grew up with SEE.

Did anyone grow up with it? Has anyone tried it and rejected it? I feel like it might be valuable for my daughter and I am looking for pros and cons. One pro I can already think of is that it's easy to learn and I feel like most people in my husband's family will not learn sign but maybe they would learn to cue. I was thinking of signing voice-off with her and also speaking to her with cues. (We are already a bilingual family so we're used to switching between languages.)
 
lucyinthesky -

You have to decide what will work for your family, as each family is unique. What is the language of your family? Cued Speech is not ASL nor is ASL Cued Speech. Fluency in each brings with it its' own beneifts. imo

I would be happy to further this discussion with you if you so desire.

Here is a list of places to start exploring CS:
