by Kitri Larson Kyllo (Editor), Amy Ruberl (Editor), Nicole Dugan (Editor)

Our Chosen Path: The Transformative Impact of Cued Language is a collection of personal stories and professional articles. Each piece addresses the significance of cueing in the everyday lives of individuals, families, and professionals in deaf education. The first-person accounts highlight native cuers, parents, siblings, administrators, cued language transliterators, teachers, and professionals. The professional articles encompass the how, what, and why of cueing, complemented by the poignant experiences and grateful voices reflected in the book. The diverse topics include cueing with babies, American Sign Language/Cued American English bilingualism, the academic transformative understanding of cued language, and most importantly, the creation of the 'cuemmunity', a group of diverse, dynamic, and dedicated individuals bound together by cueing. This book is a major contribution to the field of deaf education and provides readers with up-to-date information on cued language, its varied uses, and personal anecdotes and stories from users. This book will leave the reader wanting to find out more, whether by connecting with deaf cuers, parents, or professionals or by discovering the recent scientific literature documenting the effects of the Cued Speech system and cued language on language and literacy acquisition.
