National Cued Speech Association
The National Cued Speech Association is attempting to revise a method that has no empirical support for effectiveness regarding the purpose for which it was intended, distort it as something it isn't nor was ever intended to be, and make money off it. They jumped on the bandwagon as soon as childhood implantation became more prevalent. They are just another oralist organization attempting to make a buck off implanted kids.
