I'm sorry you're having problems with copyright issues. Most nursery rhymes should be old enough to be beyond copyright problems though, so hopefully you'll be able to share some of those.

The 'All I want for Christmas' clip was pulled by YouTube because of copyright issues! Shame. We worked hard on that one! Got lots more but he copyright thing stops us making them public. Oh!

Ok, lovely Beth basically lost her cueing input at age 7 for the simple reason that she changed teachers and the school she was in had a 'regimen' change from one that used CS for English to a 'total communication' approach which basically meant that teachers spoke English and added signs when they knew them. With the luxury of hindsight we now know that this only gives a corrupted version of both languages but at the time it seemed the answer to everything. I work for the CS Association in the UK and we did for a short time experiment with offering BSL using Deaf adults access to 'learning English as a second language' classes, taught in BSL but using CS for the English - there was a demand for this and the little bit we did worked well but time and resources ran out sadly. Beth has since been distracted by the birth of her two sons! They are keeping her very busy unsurprisingly, but she is still keen to come back to CS for herself as they get older. Right now I am working on creating a filmed resource of cued nursery rhymes, stories and songs for use with little children at home or at school. Would you like me to send one out to you Barb? I think it looks great and should be finished by the end of April, of course we are all cueing English English but your son might enjoy laughing at our funny accents! Cheers. Hello again!

I'm really glad to have found this site - thank you Barb and hello to Don and your son. I have only moments free right now to respond to what I've read so I just wanted to make contact and say I'll be back asap to fill you in on Beth and CS in the UK. Love to all... Hi everyone,

Also, has anyone here seen the videos in the Gallaudet library collection that are called "artistic cued speech?" They were made at MSSD in the early 1970s, and I'm curious how they compare to more modern examples. They are non-circulating VHS tapes, so if any of you DC/MD/VA locals watch them, let us know. See http://aquadev.wrlc.org/?skin=ga&q=artistic+cued+speech Here’s another cued (British English) music video from the Exeter Deaf Academy in the UK:

I remember going to Northern Ireland and not hearing about other deaf students in mainstream school. Although when I went to Oxford, I was a guinea pig in testing if the fire alarm worked for a deaf person coming into the university after my visit. I'm currently working on my museum studies and I cannot believe some of the views that some museum workers have of deaf people (one said she didn't think deaf people could read the labels, another was like "Are they actually able to visit the museum? They are a certain education aren't they, apart from you?"). I hope to change people's perceptions as I work my way into the museum sector and my hope is to write an article in the Museums Journal along the way.

This is her final performance at the end of one semester of CS. Very good for a beginner! (It's a transliterated song, with the man's voice on one hand and the woman's voice on the other -- and sometimes both voices/hands simultaneously. I'm curious what native cuers think of this technique.) Does anyone know who she is, and where she is now? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjKj48xTdBs&feature=related Speaking of ‘holy crap’ – I just saw this clip of a student who was learning Cued Speech in Kelly Crain’s program in Florida.

Thanks for finding this video... really fascinating. I hope she follows up with more, about her progress (or lack thereof, since she's an adult now). She seems to have some phonemic awareness built in, so maybe she'll re-learn somewhat quickly...who knows? Holy crap! Thanks for finding this video… really fascinating.
