I find it amusing, indeed that you speak of the "real world", yet the web address idealist.org - Welcome to Idealist.org - Imagine. Connect. Act. is a direct link to the National Cued Speech Association. Idealist is an odd word indeed for one who claims to function on real world prinicples. |
jillio- Thanks for the link! In case you didn't get a chance to read this part.

....Cued Speech has substantial data showing that it enables deaf children to attain competency in English at the level of hearing students grade by grade. I know of no other system that enables this to happen.... As more and more young deaf persons achieve academically because of this system, deaf leaders will need to re-examine their options.
