The National Cued Speech Association (NCSA) is holding a conference in celebration of the 40th anniversary of the invention of Cued Speech as well as its advances over the last few decades. “Cued Speech – Celebrating Language, Literacy and Excellence” will take place at Towson University in Towson, Maryland, July 20-23, 2006.
This is the only meeting in the country of its kind that brings together both the innovators in the field of Cued Speech and the people it most directly affects. This conference will provide a forum at which experts, educators and families can come together and share their experiences and expertise in the field of Cued Speech.
Representatives attending the conference come from almost every state as well as Switzerland, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Finland and Poland. The program includes thought provoking seminars on subjects such as cochlear implants, early intervention, cued language transliteration and discussions of various applications for cueing.
A Children’s and Teen Program will be held in coordination with the conference. See Program Highlights below for more information.
A Gala Awards Dinner remembering the inventor of Cued Speech, Dr. R. Orin Cornett will be held. See Program Highlights below for more information.
