Out of curiosity,
What is Oralism? I'm not familiar with what you're referencing.

Hi Lora,
Cued speech a system of communication that makes traditionally spoken
languages accessible by using a small number of handshapes (representing
consonants) in different locations near the mouth (representing vowels), as
a supplement to lipreading.
It is not used much since the signing Deaf don't like it because it reeks
too much of oralism. The strict Oral crowd pay it lip service but prefere to
use purely oral methods.
To me it seems a useful tool for learning speech and lip reading but the
problem is when people use it as a stand alone system competing with sign
language.
