Meet the Professionals!

Virginia Hands & Voices and the Virginia Early Hearing Detection & Intervention (VA EHDI) program are pleased to announce a collaborated event geared towards families of children who are deaf and hard of hearing.

Each virtual screening will feature a pre-recorded video (approximately 20 minutes) directly followed by a live 15-minute Q&A session with the professional featured in the interview. The pre-recorded interviews are captioned and include an ASL interpreter on the screen.

The Versatility of Cued Language

 

Cued Speech is a mode of communication that can provide complete visual access to the spoken language of the home and school. While it can stand alone as a modality, it can also function effectively to enhance other modes of communication, specifically Listening and Spoken Language and American Sign Language.

 

Cued Speech also has many other uses in targeted areas such as cochlear implant rehabilitation, foreign language acquisition, providing visual support for speech production, and as part of a multi sensory course of action with auditory processing or auditory neuropathy issues. It can be an important asset in acquisition of a solid base in complete language. 

Presented by: Suhad Keblawi, Executive Director of the Testing, Evaluation and Certification Unit (for Cued Language Transliterator national certification); Angela Laptewicz, Nationally Certified Cued Language Transliterator; and Maureen Bellamy, Vice President, Northern Virginia Cued Speech Association.
