Cued Speech Puns

I created a Discord for cuded speech. The goal is to have a place where cuers of all skill levels can connect with each other (Discord has video calls) and provide a way for people who want to learn cued speech to have other people to practice with.

Here's the link to join https://discord.gg/wDSkbBEuad

Hope to see you there!

Greetings! I'm Donna, a Cued Speech enthusiast. I just found this sub-reddit.

Anyway, I wanted to let you know I started a YouTube series: "Cued Speech Word Of The Day". I add a new word every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The address is https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxojUy-dP6C2YKp3BWQPg1w/

This seems like a small sub-reddit, 14 members. I hope someone still reads this.

Have a good day and Happy Cueing!

What are your thoughts on Cued Speech?

If there's a more appropriate subreddit for this question, please let me know. I know the topic may not be a popular one and I understand the reasons why.

I'm a hard of hearing adult in a fully hearing family, raised to listen and speak. I've been taking ASL courses through the Missouri School for the Deaf, but my family's interest is reluctant to nonexistent. (Typical story: don't think they can learn another language, don't think they need to when I get along "well enough" as things are, don't have the time... You know the excuses.)

While I know the cueing community is small and while it certainly isn't my first choice, I feel like it's a halfway point. At least it's something less intimidating for them, since it's built around a language they all know and a system they could memorize and understand. I contacted the Resource Center at the Missouri School for the Deaf to ask about classes in cued speech. The secretary told me she spoke with several people, and none of them knew of any. She said Illinois has a few, but no one in the office knew a single place in Missouri to learn cued speech.

I've Googled and searched YouTube but I've found mostly inactive websites or sales pitches for VHS tapes. (Like I said, unpopular topic.) I'm wondering if anyone could help me find some good, legitimate resources for learning to cue.

Here's a video of my parents and I, 27 years ago.

What are your preconceptions about Cued Speech and how can I address those? What are your fears and how can I alleviate them? Why do you think Cued Speech isn't a good idea? What can I do to tell you my story?

Hey Guys,

I am a teenager who has been diagnosed with meniere's disease (in both ears) and I'm going to lose most of my hearing function because of it. Right now I have moderate hearing loss in both ears and I find that conversation can be very difficult in certain environments. My ENT thinks that a couple years down the road hearing aids may not be of use anymore and we discussed the possibilities for the future.

someone I know recommended learning sign language now, as it can take years to become fluent in a language (if I have that many years left on my ears!). I am doing this. I am enrolled in ASL classes in the fall semester.

There's only one problem. A lot of people I currently know won't be learning ASL. My parents are accommodating and are going to /attempt/ to learn but I don't think they are interested in complete fluency just for my sake. It's a big time investment and I'm not sure they are fully prepared, at their age.

I've heard alot of things about "cued speech". I understand that it's not a language in it's own right, rather, it's an aid to help understand English, and is usually paired with lipreading. However I've heard that its very easy and fast to learn. Some say you can learn it and apply it within a couple weeks.

Would it be wrong to learn cued speech first? I feel like it would be easier on my parents to learn. Do many deaf / HoH folks use it? I am still taking ASL courses in the fall so It's not like I'm choosing this over ASL... I would just be learning this first, during the summer (for my family). Is there harm in knowing both?

Thoughts?

I'm an SLPA and I have almost zero experience with cued speech. An SLP in my district is doing cued speech with a first grader who uses ASL and recently got a cochlear implant, but she does not want the interpreter present. This feels wrong to me, but I admit I don't know enough about it to really judge. Is cued speech usually done with or without the student's interpreter? Thanks.

I'm an adult deaf native cuer and I've been working in the deaf education industry for ten years. Please feel free to AMA anything about how Cued Speech represents a paradigm shift in terms of communications access both in the family setting and in terms of conveying content in a classroom verbatim.

Words Spoken We Fear who often went by the name Speaks or Fear was a black mantid, born on Mantid Prime AKA Hivehome AKA Anthill nearly sixty years before. He was largely quiet and unassuming, following the more bombastic and publicly visible Dreams of Something More to act as her social media specialist.

He was much more and the cover was a necessity.

Since the end of the C3 War and the fall of the Unified Council, Speaks had been involved with running cybersecurity for the entire diplomatic team as well as following up on GalNet and other electronic warfare threats.

Which amused him, since he had started out as an electronic warfare specialist with the Mantid Naval Forces.

While Dreams was more concerned with herding Lanaktallan diplomats and politicians into signing the treaties and lately, a harder job, just acknowledging that the world existed outside of their virtual worlds, Speaks was more worried about what exactly was going on in GalNet since SolNet had been wired in.

There had been a few odd things that cropped up that made him sit in his room and think deeply about what could possibly go on.

The attempted assassination of System Director Brentili'ik.

The assassination of several highly placed Lanaktallan with the Night Terran's MO that occurred after the retributive system had been taken offline.

Data adjustment coming out of the core Confederate systems.

Speaks had finely tuned senses after nearly a half century of clandestine operations and his senses told him that something was going on that was hidden from everyone's view.

Which is why he had prepared multiple disconnected work spaces in strange out of the way places.

The dumpster behind Charlie's Diner in the lower income section of Council City was one such operational space.

Being only three feet high and able to fold himself up tightly meant he needed less work space. A quick adjustment to the dumpster's barcode made sure that it wouldn't be disturbed by garbage trucks. Plastic lining, EM barr

Madam President Amanda Fox was the leader of the Martian Republic during the War of the Field. Some historians blame her for the war, attesting that had she been more willing to compromise during the negotiations surrounding the Bulk Fuel Compact of 30978PP, armed conflict might have been avoided. Others feel that the demands of the Jupiter League were excessive from the onset, and that nothing she could've done would've averted war, only delayed it.

Investigator Hoel reached out, grasping, pawing for gain or friction against the bulkheads as he tumbled, his tools ricocheting around him only briefly illuminated as they sailed through the beam splayed out from his suit light. He felt his hand briefly impact what felt like a railing, then his boot caught on something and his tumbling came to a sudden jarring end. He bent and brought his remaining helmet light to bear on his boots to see his right foot wedged firmly between the overhead and one of the lighting fixtures of the passage.

He pushed down with his left and it affixed magnetically to the overhead and tried to pull his right out of the fixture, but it didn't budge. He tried jerking the boot this way and that to try and loosen it but to no avail. With a sigh he started looking around at the tools floating and bouncing off the bulkheads, deck, and overhead. The fixture mount was secured to the overhead by a series of three hex bolts arranged in a triangle. If he could get to the right tool and detach it...

He spotted the wrench case a meter and a half up the passageway, just out of reach. He cursed silently to himself as he stretched and twisted to try and reach the case. Then he noticed that it wasn't still, it was drifting, be it ever so slowly towards him. He felt rather than heard the ship shudder. Then again, stronger this time. He realized that whatever that other thing on the ship was coming back his way, and if he didn't get himself loose in time... He stared at the case, willing it to drift to his outstretched hands faster.

He briefly considered cinching his left calf up and removing the boot, his prosthetic toes could be locked in place and might function as a rudimentary wrench, but the timing was questionable, it might be quicker to wait for the case.

Hi, was just wondering I could get any deaf\hoh perspective on this:

I've just started learning to sign, the actual intention is for people with learning disabilities in therapy (my job) so I'm using a form of sign with them and that's really important for them even though it's very basic and simple due to my inexperience (and also the form of sign is deliberately simple and easy to digest for them)

On the side, I've just started learning BSL as well, mainly because the thought of not being able to communicate with a huge portion of the community bugs me! But this is where I'm hesitent about communicating at the moment. I only know simple things like 'thank you\please', greetings, and random words like 'orange' (don't ask why I learnt that). The whole point is to communicate, but I'm worried I might offend someone, almost like pretending to communicate with sign even though I only know a few words, I can't shake the feeling that it feels like I'm lying to them! Or that it might come across as patronising.

I know everyone's different, so there may be a range of different opinions, that's why I'm here 😊

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
