Pamela Luft; Charlotte Brochu – American Annals of the Deaf, 2023
Online learning environments are challenging for deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) individuals.

Cued Speech (CS) is a tool used to make spoken languages visible. While it uses the hands to communicate information visually, it is not a form of sign language. Signed languages are languages in their own right and use the hands, body, and face to present complete concepts rather than words. They have their own grammar systems and vocabularies.…
