Virtual Meet-Ups
The Versatility of Cued Language
Cued Speech is a mode of communication that can provide complete visual access to the spoken language of the home and school. While it can stand alone as a modality, it can also function effectively to enhance other modes of communication, specifically Listening and Spoken Language and American Sign Language.
Cued Speech also has many other uses in targeted areas such as cochlear implant rehabilitation, foreign language acquisition, providing visual support for speech production, and as part of a multi sensory course of action with auditory processing or auditory neuropathy issues. It can be an important asset in acquisition of a solid base in complete language.
Presented by: Suhad Keblawi, Executive Director of the Testing, Evaluation and Certification Unit (for Cued Language Transliterator national certification); Angela Laptewicz, Nationally Certified Cued Language Transliterator; and Maureen Bellamy, Vice President, Northern Virginia Cued Speech Association.

Dr. Lilach Saperstein
Learn about The FIG (Familiarity, Intent, Goal) Method of advocacy with Dr. Saperstein. This workshop helps parents know when it is the right time to speak up, and what words to use. She will discuss how to advocate effectively in everyday situations with friends, family and acquaintances, as well as more "high stakes"encounters, such as with doctors or at school/service meetings. This can be especially helpful when someone has said something that really hurts, or made you angry or exasperated. This is a powerful tool that you can use at any time!
