Within your profile is a place to put your Story. This is an important part of your profile because it sets you apart from the set of roles you checked or the language you know. The purpose of the Story is to help people know more about you and to learn from you.
The Story uses the same editor as other features of the site. So you can use special formatting like bod words, italics, or insert links if you wish. Remember, it doesn't have to be perfect. You can go back and edit your profile at any time and revise or update what you've written.
Many people share their connection to cued speech – how they discovered it, what convinced them to use it, and how they learned. Parents often write about their children. Professionals describe the services they offer. Here are some other ideas to inspire you:
The Stories in DailyCues work like testimonials. People will be able to read a bit about your experiences and might relate to them.

People may want to get in touch with you if you have special skills or knowledge.
Because this information is available on the web, limit the detail you share about yourself and your family. Avoid naming specific names of places your family goes (e.g., schools, churches, etc.). And remember that there's no need to put your personal contact information in your story. Individuals can contact your through the site without knowing your personal e-mail.
