Comment: | Cued Speech is a simple sound-based system comprising eight hand-shapes used in four positions near the mouth, in conjunction with lip patterns so as to make all the sounds of spoken language fully comprehensible to deaf and hearing-impaired people. Cued Speech gives an exact visual representation of spoken language at the same time as normal speech.
The Cued Speech Association UK is a charity which was established to promote, maintain and advance education in Cued Speech in the United Kingdom for use with and among deaf and hearing-impaired children and adults. This is achieved by:
+ organising and providing tuition;
+ creating, collecting and disseminating information;
+ exhibiting and giving presentations;
+ working with other organisations and statutory bodies;
+ creating and supplying teaching materials;
+ maintaining standards by offering examinations. |
