Patricia Spencer, PSpencer Consulting LLC, Rockport, USA, International Journal of Audiology 2011, (2011): The editors of this volume clearly hope to encourage more research on and the use of CS/L. They have, toward these ends, compiled chapters (and some full or partial reprints of previous publications) from authors in Belgium, France, Spain, and the USA to provide a data base upon which to build ... If you want to learn about Cued Speech/Language - or if you are interested in the possible integration of visual and auditory information for acquisition of language - this is a book you should read ... This is a unique volume however, and readers will find it interesting at a number of levels. It could provoke re-thinking of some long-held attitudes about the language potential of deaf children, processing of multi-modal language input, and even the nature of the relation between languages and the modalities through which they are represented. And, it provides in one location what is known, thought, and hoped about the contributions of Cued Speech and Language to deaf children's development. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more about these topics.
