The Cued Speech Association UK is working to eliminate the tragedy of many deaf children being virtually excluded from family life because they can’t communicate and leaving school with a reading age of 9. Cued Speech completely clarifies the lip-patterns of normal speech so that deaf children can learn and understand English. It can be learnt in only 20 hours. It is no exaggeration to say that its use can totally transform the lives of deaf babies and children and their families. It can also help deaf and deafened adults to access and use English.
