Oceanbreeze - Cued Speech is a visual representaion of the
sounds of the language. A child does not need to have language first prior to experiencing and learning/acquiring language through cueing. The sounds are provided rythmically, as in regular speech (conversational) patterns.
You are building phoneme with phoneme, which is how hearing children learn/acquire language. They do not know English prior to hearing it and yet they learn/acquire the English language.
Cueing can/is used for second language learners, hearing or deaf.
