Aural/Oral
This
program emphasizes oral skill development, the use
of amplification, auditory learning,
speechreading,
and speech. Not every deaf child has sufficient
residual hearing to learn effectively through
the auditory channel, but many can. The Aural/Oral
Elementary Program is at Rock Creek Valley
ES.
Total Communication
This program encourages the
use of all available communication channels for the
deaf student
including speech, speechreading, audition, sign
language,
and fingerspelling. The Total Communication
Elementary
Program is at Lucy Barnsley ES.
Cued Speech
This program uses a system
that has eight hand shapes and four vowel group positions.
Sounds
that look
alike on the lips are cued differently,
so they can be distinguished from one
another. Cues represent
the sounds of spoken language. The
Cued
Speech
Elementary
Program is at Flower Valley ES.
