This makes sense to me. If cued speech is not a language then it should be used after ASL and English is learned? Do you agree, Loml?

No I do not agree Kaitin.

And this is but one of your numerous posts that convey your philosophy of Cued Speech being used for langauge acquisiton and ASL not being introduced until a strong foundation of oral English is in place.

The problem with that is, deaf children are able to acquire ASL and must be taught English, even if it is the only language they are exposed to. This is a directive process tthat results in less than fluent use of any language because the process of acquisition has not been attended to.
