For example, spoken English, consists of consonants (phonemes) and vowels (phonemes)strung together. When a child is cued to, he/she is basically "seeing the sound of the spoken language" (for simplification purposes). Cueing is done simultaneously with lip movement(please note that this does not have to actually be voiced) and the hand shapes(for consonants) along with the hand placements (for vowels - of which in English the mouth makes 3 distinct shapes), teaches the child English through the system of Cued Speech.
I am not versed in what processes occur in the brain to explain to you exactly how this happens. What I can share with you is my experiences.

What you are advocating, though, is a visual model of
English. What if the child has no language at all? I fail to see how you can teach them cueing when they don't have a grasp of a language; any language. In my mind, you'd first have to teach them a language, and then, expand upon that by teaching them cueing.
