Cue Camp Virginia Is Coming!

Written by Barb Ballard on August 12th, 2008 | 2 Comments

CCVA is coming!  The information and registration forms are online now at Cue Camp Virginia.  There are new forms and new scholarship opportunities, especially if you’re a family with a deaf/HOH preschooler, and you live in the Northern Virginia area.  The Fairfax Lions Club has graciously supplied funds to provide scholarships to these Northern Virginia preschool families.  For families with a newly diagnosed child it’s important to learn the system for Cued Speech and begin using it as soon as possible.  Read this information sheet from NCSA on Cueing with Babies.

So, to those of you out there who think it’s a great idea that Lions Clubs support Cued Speech, I urge you to find your local Lions Club and join it!  If you live in Northern Virginia you might want to consider joining the Fairfax Lions.  If you live in other areas, join a club and help them to learn more about Cued Speech. 

OK, enough about Lions for now.  This post is supposed to be about Cue Camp Virginia!  It’s time to register and get ready for this once a year event.  Don’t miss out!

    Lions clubs rock! The one in my city paid the first year salary for my first transliterator when I started school, since the school district was leery of the whole thing in the beginning and didn’t want to plunk down cash without proven results.

    Last year was my first time at CCV. I’d love to go to again, but I’m not yet sure if it will be possible to make it this year. We’ll see…
