CANTERBURY WOODS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL 4910 Willet Drive Annandale, VA 22003 Voice: (703)978-6222 Fax: (703) 9786729 TTY: (703)503-7284 Cued Speech Program   Providing a means for children who are deaf or hard of hearing to naturally access and acquire traditionally spoken languages and  for parents, family, and friends who are hearing to communicate with them in the language(s) already used in the home and at school. The mastery of a first language in childhood, it would seem, establishes the neurological basis for language learning in adulthood. When mastery of a first language has not been attained by the onset of adolescence, as typically occurs in the deaf population, progress in acquisition is inhibited or suppressed.
