Cued
Speech Myths & Facts
Fact: Cued Speech does not require the use of speech or voice to
communicate clearly, nor was it developed for the purpose of improving
a deaf person’s speech skills. While speech therapists and
auditory rehabilitation specialists have employed the use of cueing
in therapy sessions as a biofeedback tool, it is considered a secondary
benefit of the system. In the 1960s, it was believed that phonemes
and speech were interrelated and could not be separated, and this
is partly why the system was named “Cued Speech.” Below
