1306 Words6 Pages

Born in Driftwood, Oklahoma on November 14, 1913, Dr. R. Orin Cornett, inventor of Cued Speech, died December 7, 2002, Maryland, at the age of 89. Dr. Cornett’s invention of Cued Speech, a communication system for the deaf children, and his life’s body of work touched and improved the lives of thousands of people in the deaf community. His noble spirit and concern for mankind live on. According to Dr. Charles Berlin, Clinical Professor of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery at Louisiana State University Kresge Lab, Cornett “effected great changes permanently for the good of the human condition, preserved through many difficulties, had a good sense of reality, and a good sense of his/her own limitations.” Cued Speech was invented in 1966 …show more content…

Cornett received grants from the Office of Education and other agencies to do parent education, training, and research. He also became a widely sought after lecturer on the international scene.Since Cued Speech Provides 100% visual access to the sounds of spoken language, the deaf child is able to internalize a phonemic model of language naturally in much the same way as a hearing child does. This provides the language base and phonemic awareness that supports the development of literacy,reading and writing. Deaf children who use Cued Speech generally attain English language and literacy levels equal to or better than those of their hearing peers. In addition, the use of Cued Speech can be used to support the development of speech skills. Because Cued Speech is phonetically based, the deaf child is completely aware of all of the sounds that make up each word, which supports the articulation process. However, speaking is not required by the Cued Speech user. Since Cued Speech is used around the mouth, it does support the acquisition of lipreading skills and many Cued Speech users develop strong lipreading …show more content…

Among Cornett’s achievements were three honorary doctorates, the 1963 Award for Outstanding Alumni Achievement from Oklahoma Baptist University, the Nitchie Award in Human Communications from the New York League for the Hard of Hearing in 1988, and the Distinguished Service Award of the National Council on Communication Disorders in

The school argued that signing would become a “crutch” and limit a child’s ability to speak and interact with the hearing world (31). While Tressa viewed this as a positive program at the time, she later discovered the importance of sign and how it allowed Alandra to communicate to the fullest extent. After the family moved, Alandra began attending a residential school in Jacksonville. At this school, sign and speech were used in a “total communication” method. Here, Alandra was able to spend her entire day with deaf peers and learn how easy it was to communicate with them through sign language.

The Use Of Cochlear Implants In True Biz By Sara Polish

531 Words | 3 Pages

Sara Nović’s novel True Biz is, at its core, a depiction of the struggle between the Deaf community and its hearing counterpart. Much of the book is spent describing how hearing people who fail to understand the Deaf community have mainstreamed their deaf children through the use of ASL deprivation and the use of cochlear implants. Nović feels pride about the Deaf community and wants to teach us about it so that we in the hearing world can better help to prevent its destruction. Unfortunately, in doing this, Nović has painted a one-sided picture regarding the use of cochlear implants by failing to include examples of successful ones, her depiction of Austin's family struggle around the issue, and most importantly, by glorifying the destruction of the bionics lab.

Deaf Like Me Book Report

This led to a teaching method being created in 1970 that did not favor sign language or oralism and every child was considered equal and able to get the education that they needed. This is extremely important to me as a future educator that every student, no matter the disability, was treated equally. Every student should be able to have the same opportunity to learn. The method used in education that started in the early 1970s was known as Total Communication. In an article called The History of Communication, written on start ASL’s website, stated that Total Communication gives the opportunity to deaf students in numerous ways such as ASL, fingerspelling, lip reading, pictures, use of computers, writing, gestures, reading, expression and the use of hearing aids that some schools had to provide.

Prelingual deaf children experience a lag in auditory and visual language access. This will have an effect on the neural organization and the neurocognitive skills which rely on the sensory experiences and the language processing of spoken language (Pisoni et al, 2008).
