Greetings

Hi everyone! It was a pleasure meeting Heather and chatting with her at the conference. She asked me if I would be willing to write an introductory blog, and I agreed.

For those of you who don't know me, I'm a native cuer originally from Texas who grew up on the east coast. I was mainstreamed with a cued language transliterator from kindergarten through college. I'm also an NCSA-certified instructor of CS, and have taught a number of workshops at camps. I'm absolutely thrilled that this little community in Utah is growing and it warms me to hear that you all are so dedicated and have been working your ***** off this summer to prepare for classes.

I can be reached at hilary.franklin@gmail.com or hilarycues@yahoo.com.

Happy cueing AND happy Friday!

I chatted with a Deaf native cuer at the RID Conference

FYI:

I was lucky enough to run into Hilary Franklin the other day in San Francisco! I asked her what bits of advice I could take home to the CLTs-in-training in Salt Lake. She said that deaf cuers have a greater tendency to look away from the CLTs in order to glean visual information from other relevant sources in the classroom environment (instructor, PowerPoint slides, etc). It has been her experience that some CLTs feel the deaf client is looking away from them because they do not like/understand their cueing; this, of course, is not always the case. Taking in the periphery is merely a communication strategy which may be more pronounced in the cueing client.
