Are you sick of researching all of the language options for your child? Do you have a hard time understanding what all of the options mean, and you can’t seem to pick one? Well, you might not have to pick just one!

Today on the podcast I welcome Amy and Sarah from the organization CueSign. In this episode we talk about cued speech, how it’s different from ASL, and how you can and should actually integrate both for a true total communication approach to language for your child.

If you’re exploring language options and communication modalities for your child right now, Sarah and Amy are here to help you out! This was such an educational and also encouraging conversation to me personally, and I hope it will be encouraging for you as well!
