How Cued Speech Supports Language and Literacy Development – Presented by the National Cued Speech Association. This webinar features important information for parents of deaf or hard of hearing children as they navigate language development. Over 90% of deaf children are born to hearing parents. A child’s first and primary language model comes from his or her parent(s). Vocabulary, range/depth of word knowledge, comprehension, word recognition, and English phonology are critical to development of a child’s language skills.
