How early can I use Cued Speech with a deaf baby?
The earlier you use Cued Speech the better. A baby or young deaf child will learn by imitation as hearing babies do – they are not specifically taught. Early and consistent use of Cued Speech should enable a deaf child to develop an understanding of the English language which mirrors that of hearing children. On the other hand, it is never too late to start to cue with a deaf child and older children benefit from being directly taught.
