Goodness another Seattlite here. There’s definitely more and more of a desire for cueing in our region if we could just unite to get it to happen. My son attends the Hearing Speech & Deafness Center preschool using Cued Speech. We’re fighting w/the school district now and will either move or homeschool to provide a cued speech environment for our son once he’s aged out of HSDC.
I would love to find a Seattle cueing family.

Wow! What a relief. I don’t know phonics either and I guess I kind of assumed most hearing people know it. So I’m worried about learning cued speech and being really bad at it because of not being certain how to break down sounds.

Kim, I am from Washington state!! I don’t know how to reach you but if anyone knows how to, I’d love to speak with you. I live in Seattle. Cueing definitely is NOT prevalent here at all. I know of only one cued speech transliterator.

There is a 2-day workshop ($10) in Seattle at the Hearing, Speech, & Deafness Center (HSDC) on October 17 & 18th.

I look forward to reading more of your story, Barb.

Hi Kim –

Saw you comment.:) There will be a Beginners Cued English workshop in Edmonton, Alberta, Septemeber 12-15, 2008. Perhaps this is a viable option for you.

You’re lucky to live where you do. I’m in Washington state and I’ve been searching on-line for cuers. Nothing!! But I so desperately want to try it, to help with lip-reading at home.
