Mike--Thanks so MUCH! I'm still very, very interested in this cueing idea because I can see a lot of applications for it with the late-deaf, as it seems easier to learn than ASL, and that it could be a great tool to enhance lip-reading. Right now I'm so busy with learning ASL, and I want to continue with that, but with my husband losing his hearing, I'm sure we will be looking into cueing eventually too, because he has not taken to ASL. I really am very, very excited about cueing.
Nice post! I'm one of those native cuers.... It's always nice to see my friends or people that I know in the clips that you included with the post! 
awesome post mike! i appreciate all this information on cuing; thanks for raising awareness on this.
can adults like me (26 yrs old) benefit from Cue? or do you reccomend a better way for an old dog to learn how to speak better?
I don't know cueing, DF. Just the fact that it does and can work extremely well. Perhaps ask people like Stephen Hopson on that very same subject on how to speak well though I do believe Stephen never used cued speech.

Though, I don't know what your hearing loss is like or that you use hearing aids or not. I guess the bottom line is to practice your speech with somebody who can help you and give you feedbacks. Feedbacks are what really helps. Constructive feedbacks, that is.
I am not trying to attack anyone here but my primary care physician admitted to me about two years ago that she had seen oral and cued interpreters and said that they looked so very funny. She said, Penny, I do not know ASL but I much prefer to see ASL interpreter on the stage rather than Cued or oral interpreter. I told her oh you got it! She smiled broadly! I respect her so much more now.
I found Allison Kaftan's vlog very informative. I only learned about Cued Speech last year so it's still fairly a new topic for me.
yeah.. keep stuffing it down our throats.
That was a very enlightening post. I honestly thought a little, for a lack of better word, low of cueing. But it was only because of my ignorance and haven't seen real examples of what it looks like and well, of every video you showed.
Thank you, now I would like to add learning to cue onto my list to learn.
Again, thank you for sharing this with us.
I am appalled!!! Cued Speech actually failed many Deaf children and Cued Speech was initially for HEARING parents so that they can communicate with their Deaf children when they SHOULD be learning ASL - the language of the Deaf children! Why is it always about spoken language that we, Deaf people must accomodate!? I appreciate you giving this information but to encourage the value of Cued Speech is something I disagree wholely. ASL Education - ASL NOW! It is Deaf children's RIGHTS!
Midwest and "appalled"...please understand it's not about forcing but the available methods that are out there which has proven to many to be quite helpful. No one is forcing anyone anything down their throat. It is up to the parents and individuals to research these things with an open mind and make their own informed choices. There is no such thing as a one size fits all scenario since we are dealing with deafness from mild to profound and that technology is increasingly playing a vital role in their education and communication approaches.
Cued Speech is a wonderful tool that is made available for the others just as much as tactile is made available for the DeafBlind.
I would rather see communication methods and tools being put to good use than see others bash a communication tool because it just doesn't "look good on stage" or it supposedly hinders learning capabilities.
Thank you Mike for posting subtitled videos.
Tactile smile,
Patty
Nice blog Mike. It was interesting seeing the settings in which cueing was used. I know in the past the issue seems to have been the different structuring of language between spoken English and ASL and that you can not actually express exactly the same thing using the 2 language unless you used signed exact English (SEE). Cueing as presented in the videos seems to bridge that gap.
It was cool to see more vidoes of cueing. I remember seeing the first one (she did vlog about it last year, was on DeafRead...)
Amazing at how different communication mode work for several people :o)
Any Cued Speech deaf person from Deaf family out there?
cue speach has its place! lets not forget that. sometimes it is used right and sometimes it is not used correctly. that does not make it bad. it is very hard to learn i have tryed. see the wood for the trees.
Now, why are deaf militants still screaming over Cued?
It works. I don't know it myself, but I am truly amazed at how many clearly benefitted from it.
It's also funny watching cuers type "definately" not "definitely" as a deaf person would! Cuers are just like hearing people when it comes to spelling which is understandable, but at least cuers tend to read and write better than those raised using ASL and even in Bi-Bi programs (which in my humble opinion is a joke).
Nah, I am not in attack mode. As matter of fact, I am too tired of reading negative vibe behind the words.
Anyway I HAVE TO HAVE TO HAVE TO tell you something about first two clips. I saw these clips somewhere.. This boy.... I ROFL !!! when he tried to tell something to his mother (I think) Although his mother was fascinated with the youtube audience. The boy fed up with his mother. a good communication? LOL just kidding.
I don't know why I get urgent to tell you. I don't know why its funny, but MAN!! it s funny!!
Never mind.. I found the clip. Keep your eyes on a boy at 3:45 of this clip. LOL!!

Mike -
Good to see this! CS hs been very muched the under used. Git a nice quote from a frined today regarding CS. May I, please....
"Cued Speech is not just a code. It is deeper phonologically than that. It is integrated into the cortex, where speech perception, reading and writing take place. We now understand that phonology can be built by several different modalities." - Jacqueline Leybaert
