Cued Speech

i am debating wether i like the idea or not , i think it would be differcult for a deaf person because some words sound the same for insistance the name ben and word been have the same sound i think that would confused the person.

You'll find that is beginning to change, especially after the success in Deaf students in Sweden and Denmark.

Deaf children who have parents who sign at home and a bicultural model at school do as well if not better then their hearing peers.

I'd be interested to see more current research. In 1996 a lot of schools were still using SimCom and the education in Deaf schools was very different from today.

I think that making a child whose deaf think that they need to start talking is rude and mean. Why can't the parents just learn how to sign? Why do deaf people have to conform to our wants instead of hearing conforming to their NEEDS! I think that if a child wants to learn how to speak aloud, then by all means let them do that. If they want an implant when they're older, than by all means let them do that. If you use only CS than you're making them feel like an alien.

this is really promoting cued speech and look at the children's proficiency!

The last research conducted by Gallaudet in 1996 still states that the average reading level of a Deaf person is a fourth grade level, whereas the average hearing person is at an eighth grade level.

Wow, I just checked out your website, and let me say: for someone who hates discrimination, you've made yourself into quite the hypocrite! The words on the site was SO SMALL that I couldn't read them! My vision isn't good, so I had to copy the website onto Word and blow the type up to normal size! The black/white contrast gave me a huge headache!

Your website is a perfect example of discrimination against low vision people!
