Learn to CueWeekend Workshops | Community Cueing Events | Private Classes/Training | University CoursesWeekend WorkshopsWeekend workshops for people interested in learning to cue are held on the USF campus roughly three times per year. Classes are aimed at beginners; no prior experience with Cued Speech is needed. Participants who are Deaf or hard of hearing have the option of an instructor who signs and/or a smaller class size. Cued Speech Weekend WorkshopsSpend a weekend and learn Cued Speech from a nationally certified instructor! Cued Speech is a phonemically-based speechreading system which allows a deaf person to see and distinguish every spoken syllable. Its use can aid spoken language development and reading comprehension in deaf children. If you or anyone you know is deaf/HOH, you may find this class especially interesting. Come learn to Cue and learn about USF's role in Cued Speech. It's so easy, that in two days, you'll be able to Cue (slowly, with your notes) anything you want say!

Private Classes/TrainingBeginner or intermediate Cued Speech classes for groups (maximum 15) and continuing education training for Cued Speech transliterators are also available upon request (schedules permitting). Prices vary - contact us with a description of your need to obtain more information. University CoursesCued Speech is also offered as a 3-credit course at the University of South Florida. The course serves as an elective for any of the degree programs in the Communication Sciences and Disorders department (including interpreter training, speech-language pathology, audiology, and Deaf education). Sections are offered at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Individuals in the Tampa Bay community who have the time to commit to a college level class are also welcome to register (this requires obtaining status as a non-degree seeking status from the University). The skills portion of the course covers the basics of the system and then focuses on developing proficient expressive skills and beginning receptive skills. The class also covers related topics such as the various applications of Cued Speech and the evidence-base for its use with children who are deaf or hard-of-hearing. |
