Hilary Franklin is a native cuer
who has contributed to the field of Cued Speech advocacy in
a variety of ways. She has appeared in front of the Maryland
House of Delegates’ Ways and Means committee to advocate
for a task force to study the three-track program in Montgomery
County, worked for Language Matters Inc., and has volunteered,
worked for, and taught at numerous camps and workshops since
1991. She has been a certified instructor of Cued Speech since
2005, and is also a member of the Instructor Certification committee.
Hilary has also assisted in mentoring deaf interns who want
to become certified instructors.
While a master’s student at Teachers College, Columbia
University, Hilary worked with Jennifer Bien, a fellow student,
to propose a new course for the Deaf Education program that
would focus on the academic and communication applications of
Cued Speech. The proposal was successful, and they now co-teach
the course, “Introduction to Cued Speech.”
Hilary graduated in May 2006 with a master of arts in Teaching
American Sign Language as a Foreign Language. Hilary is committed
to the philosophy of bilingual-bicultural education for deaf
children and hopes that, as a deaf native cuer who is also a
fluent signer, she will be able to bring knowledge about the
Cued Speech system and its applications to more deafness-related
college programs across the country. |
