The entire Cued Speech system is typically taught in 8-12 hours of classroom time. For many, Cued Speech is easy to learn! Beginners can start with the Cued American English charts [Standard|IPA] and Cue College’s self-paced, online introductory CS100 course.
Anyone who is a family member of a child with hearing loss or another communication challenge can learn the entire Cued Speech system for American English for free by signing up for the Cue College “Cue Family” program. Learn at your own pace using our self-study online course, “CS100 – Introduction to Cued American English” and get a FREE one-year membership to the NCSA.
