We Cue!

Gratitude
We Cue! I believe that my hearing loss is just one of the cards that the Mother Nature has dealt me… With this given card, it’s all up to me to choose how to respond to it. One of choices that I’m choosing to respond to my given cards is… Being grateful and thankful for everything and blessings that [...]

CLTs and Culture!
We Cue! One reason why I love cued speech is the ability to be mainstream as much as possible. This is possible thanks to cued language transliterators (CLTs), as Beth blogged about earlier. What a great post - the CLTs are truly instrumental in the mainstream experience and the ability to get the exact same information, and we [...]

The Middle Man
We Cue! It’s a cool job.  I go places.  I learn things.  I sing and crack jokes.  Sometimes I flirt or tell a lie.  I’ve gone down a zip wire and had to kiss a fish.  I am a professional communication facilitator, aka, Cued Language Transliterator. The clients’ lives are private, so the window that I have [...]

Texas Brings Random Contemplations on CLT Access
We Cue! As I write this, I am currently in what amounts to the middle of nowhere, central Texas, working as a volunteer at an archaeological field school, ready to sell a kingdom for a good hot biscuit, and surrounded by colonies of fire ants. I also have very limited internet, so y'all are very lucky to [...]

Connections Within the Family
We Cue! To come from a family where each of my immediate family members learned how to cue is something I consider a blessing. I even put my life on the line by trying to teach the family cat how to expressively cue to me. I would take her paw and try to move it around her [...]

Now What? (Choices part 2)
We Cue! So, here we were with a child, who'd most likely developed his hearing impairment at the age of 3, who was now 7 years old and in 2nd grade.  Because of his other health issues, he was already in a classroom with small group instruction.  I wasn't prepared to even think about changing schools.  I'd [...]

Great Cued Speech Video

Giving Back: Ten Years Later
We Cue! Ten years ago, I was asked to meet a family with a daughter who had been diagnosed with a profound bilateral hearing loss. This was a first for me. By no means did I know what the role of a deaf model meant. After all, I grew up in a rural town 20 miles north [...]

Post-Lingually Deaf (Choices part 1)
We Cue! To understand how our family came to choose Cued Speech, you should probably understand a little bit of my son's history. He was not born with a hearing impairment, but to say that he's medically complicated is a bit of an understatement. He seemed like the perfect child at birth, but what no one knew [...]

One such program is the Cued Speech Program, which consists of Canterbury Woods Elementary School, Frost Middle School, and Woodson High School. My friend [...]
