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.
jillio - I would still answer Kaitlins' question with a no.

For your own needs, you insert your interpretation of my statements, claiming that this is what I have said.
