What is CLEAR?
2010 CLEAR participants talk about their experiences
CLEAR stands for 'Cuers for Leadership, Education, and Advocacy Retreat' and it is a retreat designed to bring native cuers who are deaf and hard of hearing so that they can develop skills as leaders, educators, and advocates for Cued Speech. CLEAR also provides cuers a chance to network and collaborate on projects that promote Cued Speech as a communication option for the deaf and hard of hearing.
Why Should I Participate?
We are a minority, and we still have a voice.
A call for leaders
Can you explain in 60 seconds what Cued Speech is?
Do you cue accurately in conversation? (Remember, cueing fast doesn't necessarily mean cueing accurately)
Do you call your state and federal representatives to lobby for support of Cued Speech?
Do you actively participate in Cue Camps or workshops?
Retreat attendees have the opportunity to develop skills that allow them to follow the three tenets of CLEAR; leadership, education, and advocacy.
Social Networking
CLEAR is a great opportunity to meet new cuers and reunite with old friends.
Grass-roots
Regional or local organizations are present throughout the country with a variety of roles from cue camp organization to holding workshops and manning conference exhibits.
Currently we have deaf cuers serving as directors of cue camps, certified Cued Speech instructors, and active volunteers in the community.
Empower yourself to get involved as a native cuer and share your experience with parents and professionals who are new to Cued Speech.
Educate your friends on what Cued Speech is and recruit their support.
