Isn't Cued Speech basicly a hand signal form of the pronounciation guides like you see for words in dictionaries? Basicly hooked on phonics for dhh folks.
Yep.

This is what I do not uderstand shel90. How can you make this statement IF you yourself have never used the system?
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!
Come back when you have a point that anyone actually cares about. Its a big deaf community out there jilly and some have benefited from cued speech but you just cannot accept that instead you know only one mode: attack and argue against anything that is not ASL.
I'm curious.
Has anyone observed cueing with infants? At what age did the child begin communicating with the family via cueing?

And it hasn't worked, now, has it? Perhaps Dr. Cornett's intent was to improve literacy, but CS is designed to remove the ambiguity from speech reading. It is a tool to improve understanding of the spoken word. And, you yourself, promote it as a communication mode.
I am a bit curious if loml agree with the article posted by Cloggy in the first post? The article is pretty hard on NCSA and critize the fact that they claim CS is a visual sound and speech system.
You saw the children and parents communicating with each other using only cued speech?Reba - Yes. It obviously varies between child and family, but a ball park figure would be between 9 and 18 months. Affectionately named "Baby Cues", amongest cuers.
jillio - are you suggesting that knowing CS and removing the ambiguity of speech reading is a uselss skill for deaf/hoh/hearing people to have? Improving the understanding of the spoken word by knowing CS is also a useless skill for deaf/hoh/hearing people to have for you?
If a person can bother to go to classes and learn CS to help
their deaf child, why can't they learn enough ASL to get them
through the time of birth until the age when they can be implanted?
It just doesn't make any sense to me to keep an infant in such
isolation for a minimum of six months. ....

It just doesn't make any sense to me to keep an infant in such
isolation for a minimum of six months. It seems that the CI
professionals are training parents to be abusive, by keeping
their deaf infant in isolation for so long. Many other practices
are considered abusive by some doctors, (like not getting
vacinations). What if I decided to place a blind fold over my
newborns eyes because she was to young to get fitted for
glasses? I think I'll ignore her need for visual stimulus until
she's 6 months or so and then get her tested for real glasses.
Boy then I'll have a really accurate diagnoses and proffesionals
to work with me. Does that make any sense?
Where does isolation of the child come in.? If the parent learns CS or ASl.... isolation is prevented.
Why should anyone learn ASL if there's a good alternative?
Learning to cue: 20 hours and one can cue any word in the dictionary and cue sentenses. Slow, but any word can be cued
ASL... 20 hours to start something basic words. Forget sentenses.
So, CS would be an addition to already known language. ASL would be starting a new language.
CS would give parents the ability to start communication straight away, without having to learn a new language.

flip - There are portions that I would agree with. There is aslo semantics that come into play. I would be happy to further this discussion in private with you. Your choice.
