Mr. and Mr. Jackson are trying to decide on what communication system they should encourage for their daughter Illya who is six years old with a moderate hearing loss. Compare the four methods of communication described in the textbook. Give your recommendation to the family including your rationale.

What will be an ideal response?


The answer should indicate that each method is a communication option for students with hearing impairments. Topic 12.8 "School Years," describes cued speech as a method that uses hand signals to help students know what words was said when reading lips. Signed English is a form of manual communication that uses finger spelling to translate English. In this method, each letter of the alphabet is assigned a sign and used to translate English. Total communication approach uses a combination of oral speech and finger spelling. Recommendations may vary but should include a reason for the suggestion.
