The Cued Speech Resource Book for Parents of Deaf Children by R.Orin Cornett, Ph.D. & Mary Elsie Daisey, M.Ed.

A ‘must have’ for parents and anyone who takes an active part in the education of deaf children.

“This is an easy to read book to ‘dip into’ which contains a huge amount of information and positive encouragement. Factual and well researched, it supports Cued Speech with many examples and essential tips for parents. I wish it had been available years ago when my profoundly deaf children were young.”

This hardback, 880 page, American Book is a comprehensive source of information for parents and others. It allows readers to ‘get inside’ the minds of 36 young deaf people by reading their observations about life, family, friends, school, reading, frustrations, pleasures, and their futures.

Includes:

  • getting started
  • materials & activities
  • language development
  • auditory training
  • speech development
  • reading
  • beginning with a very young child
  • beginning with an older child
  • what about sign language?
  • answers to frequently asked questions

Please note:
Cued Speech is a sound-based language tool. All the general information about Cued Speech is relevant in any language. However, this is an American book and some of the sounds used by speakers of American-English differ from those used in the UK. Therefore, there are a few pages in the book which are not relevant to speakers of English in the UK.

Price: 29.00 (incl. p&p)
