Welcome!

Your arrival at this website signals an interest in combining the many benefits of ASL and Cued English in a dual language environment. We wholeheartedly thank you for your interest in CueSign, Inc. and our vision to see children and adults value both language equally.

However, due to a smaller number of registrants than expected, we agreed to not proceed with the conference in Rochester, NY this month.

While we're disappointed, we remain committed to our overall mission because we know that through language, we gain access to culture, community, and literacy.

The coming months will see us considering future directions and plans for CueSign, Inc. Please stay tuned for developments.

As always, feel free to contact us at cuesign@aol.com if there are questions or conversations you'd like to begin.

Best wishes,

The CueSign Committee

2007 CueSign Camp Conference :: NTID / RIT - Rochester NY :: Cued Speech, ASL, Sign Language
 
I would like to see how CuedSign really works.
 
Too bad this is only a splash page and doesn't offer much info on Cuedsign and how it works.
 
"Due to a smaller number of registrants than expected, we decided not to proceed with the conference.....":cool:

What was the purpose of this post? No information provided. Spamming perhaps?

Cued Speech = the name of system - not a language

Cued English = the language that is being cued

Adapting Cued Speech to Additional Languages

- by R. Orin Cornett

As of October, 1993, Cued Speech had been adapted to 56 languages and major dialects. In most of these adaptations, the writer had the assistance of one or more native speakers of the target language. In a few cases he had advice from experts on the phonetic and phonological aspects of the language in question. Other persons produced five of the adaptations (Alu, Malagasy, Maltese, Korean and Polish) with little or no guidance from the writer.

Persons other than the writer will likely produce increasing numbers A adaptations to other languages. This article is intended to provide guidance and suggestions that will facilitate such adaptations. It aims to furnish the benefit of experience gained in the original design of Cued Speech and its adaptation to 50 languages by the writer. It will summarize the following:

the basic theory of Cued Speech:

1. procedures followed in grouping the phonemes of American English in the basic version of Cued Speech

2. recommended procedures for adapting Cued Speech to additional languages

3. the timing movements of Cued Speech

4. special problems encountered in adapting CS to various languages

Does this belong in "Sign Language and Oralism" and not "Our World, Our Culture"?

Dr. Cornett created Cued Speech for literacy. Cued Speech on its own is not a speech tool, nor on its will it improve the speech of a deaf person.

Why do we must contract this person to know more about Cuedsign, isn't this your duty to do so since you are the one who's the creator of this thread? In my opinion this thread is pointless because of lack of information.

Chere - If you have questions why wouldn't you go directly to the source?

I'm sorry but I disagree with you there, Cued speech is a speech tool and it does help improve the speech of a deaf, Is Dr. Cornett deaf?

But the website of the National Cued Speech Association talks about using CS as a speech tool in a article by Dr. Orin Cornett.

From the National Cued Speech Association: Cued Speech: What and Why? (Rev. 2000) R. Orin Cornett, Ph.D.

Cued Speech is designed to overcome the following problems encountered by a large majority of children with a prelingual severe or profound hearing impairment: - The problem of delayed and limited acquisition of verbal language, including its vocabulary, syntax, and common idioms. Rapid early verbal language rarely occurs in the profoundly child through only traditional methods. -

Though his/her limited aural feedback makes it difficult for the aurally handicapped child to learn to make speech sounds accurately, this is not his/her major problem. The child's major problem in use of expressive speech is that, once taught to make most of the speech sounds with reasonable accuracy, she/he is still not familiar with the pronunciations of most words, the rhythm and intonation of phrases, or with the meaningful patterns of the language itself, unless he/she has acquired these through Cued Speech. His/her major problem in speechreading arises from the same deficiency.-

One of the most easily demonstrable advantages of Cued Speech is its facilitation of speech correction and speech therapy. First, it makes it easy to clarify each speech target for the child. Second, if the child cues what he/she says, and moves his/her lips normally, the teacher or parent who knows Cued Speech knows what the child is trying to say. Thus, parents and teachers can detect and easily correct the child's misconceptions regarding pronunciation, including both choice of sounds and the patterns of duration and stress.

Absolutely. But one is liable to see a CS thread pop up anywhere around here.:giggle: But you are correct....CS has nothing to do with Deaf Culture.

In that case, it belongs in the Deaf Ed forum, as literacy is directly related to education. But this actually provides no information about anything, except a conference that was cancelled due to lack of interest and participation. Old news. And relatively useless.

Why, no, he wasn't. Nor was he a specialist in deaf education, nor in linguistics. He was a mathematician.
