Cued Speech makes it easier for deaf learners of all ages to understand and use English. It is a really good method for making spoken language visible and enables deaf babies, children and adults to see all the sounds of speech. Cued Speech can also help hearing learners who process information better through sight (including those with speech difficulties or dyslexia).
