CANTERBURY WOODS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL 4910 Willet Drive Annandale, VA 22003 Voice: (703)978-6222 Fax: (703) 9786729 TTY: (703)503-7284 Cued Speech Program Parent/Teacher Partnership Literacy Inclusion Language Small Group Support The Cued Speech Program at Canterbury Woods Elementary School serves children who are deaf or hard of hearing from infancy through grade six. Services may be provided in the home until the child reaches two years of age, at which time he/she may attend the preschool at Canterbury Woods. After sixth grade, the Cued Speech Program continues at Frost Middle School and Woodson High School. The ultimate success of the Canterbury Woods Cued Speech Program is dependent upon the active involvement of parents in partnership with school staff. Participation in inclusion classrooms is emphasized as part of a language based curriculum, with integrated services provided by teachers, instructional assistants, transliterators, speech/language clinicians, an audiologist, a social worker, and administrators, with an emphasis on language development, reading, writing, and speaking skills (appropriate to the personal communication goals of the parents). Each child receives an individualized program that addresses social, emotional, physical, and academic needs. These needs are met through a range of options. Teachers and professional staff trained and experienced in working with children who are deaf or hard of hearing provide individual services in the inclusion classroom with small group instruction when needed. | Mission Statement | Cued Speech | Handshapes | | Hand Placements | Baby & Kid-Friendly Cueing | | Speech and Language | Spoken and Cued English | Phoneme? | | English and ASL | Program | Teaching Staff | | Speech/Language Services | Audiology | Transliteration | | Cue Camps | Cueing Classes | Organizations | Parent Contacts | | Research | Web Sites |    Home Last Updated: 4/00 Judy L.
