I understand what you are saying here. However, I don't see how you couldn't say that CS could do the same thing. If the child sees the cues, and they are related to a visual object such as a chair, wouldn't the same process occur? I would think that you would begin to cue to a deaf child the meanings of different things the same way you would teach a hearing child. I.e. saying or in the case of a deaf child using CS, cueing the word "nose" and then pointing to a nose. Wouldn't the same neural processes would occur in this instance whether the child was deaf or hearing?
