It is now estimated that 10% of the deaf population may have AN/AD. It is widely recommended that Cued Speech is used with AN/AD babies and children for a number of reasons: one of which is that about 7% of the children with this diagnosis ultimately need NO intervention since they “get better” without any help. Therefore, one does not want to do harm with hearing aids or implants but can ensure language development, regardless of the outcome, by using Cued Speech.
