I agree with you...
WHen learning cued speech, the child is learning the same language as the parent. Except, visually. Same language, different medium..

So glad we agree on that.
Where did you read that? CS is a tool, not a language. And no, I never said that CI and CS are a perfect combination. What I said was that the highest achieving deaf students with CI are those exposed to sign and speech in their academic and social environments.

And admittedly by your own post, CS in unknown in Norway. So how much do you really know about the system, cloggy. If you equate it with sign, you are making afallicious comparison.
