A visual form of communication greatly supports children who are deaf or hard of hearing who are also on the autism spectrum. American Sign Language is often used, but cued speech is another visual option for families. Cued Speech is a sound-based system that visualizes the sounds of spoken languages with 8 handshapes and 4 placements around the face. Research suggests deaf and hard of hearing children with consistent exposure can read on grade level with their hearing peers. Feel free to get in touch with the center if you have additional questions or would like materials. Free workshops are offered the first Saturday of the month at Teachers College, Columbia University. Private instruction is also available.
