Coo, Babble, and Words
Research has shown that early exposure to consistent language is vital for all children. For those children who are deaf or hard of hearing, visual exposure to language is crucial. Cued language can empower parents who use a spoken language to visually share the language of their home with their deaf child. This session will teach parents and professionals the basics of the Cued American English, including easy to cue words and phrases (e.g., aw, mommy, daddy, pee, poop, uh-oh, hi, no, banana, baby, etc.), and the skills needed to decode a phoneme chart to cue novel words independently. The presenters will provide participants with materials for continued learning.
- Participants will be able to decode a chart of Cues for American English.
- Participants will be able to expressively cue words and phrases commonly used with babies and toddlers.
- Participants will be able to identify two sources for continued learning of Cued American English.
