'''Cued Speech''' is a visual system of communication used with and among deaf or hard-of-hearing people. It was developed by Dr. R. Orin Cornett in 1966 at Gallaudet University. Cued Speech uses hand shapes and placements in combination with the natural mouth movements of speech to make the phonemes of traditional spoken languages visually accessible.

== History ==

[[Dr. R. Orin Cornett]] developed Cued Speech in 1966 at [[Gallaudet University]]. He aimed to improve the literacy rates among the deaf and hard-of-hearing community. His system has been adapted to more than 60 languages and dialects worldwide.

== Method ==

Cued Speech consists of eight handshapes, which represent consonant phonemes, and four hand placements around the face, which represent vowel phonemes. These cues are used in combination with the natural mouth movements of speech to visually represent spoken language.

== Benefits ==

Cued Speech can be beneficial in various ways. It can help in the development of reading and literacy skills, improve speech and language development, and facilitate communication among deaf or hard-of-hearing individuals and their hearing peers.

== Criticisms ==

Despite its benefits, Cued Speech has faced criticism. Some argue that it is not a natural language and lacks the cultural and community aspects of sign languages. Others believe that it does not adequately support the development of English literacy skills.
