Linda Miller- Effectiveness/Access for Students
with Hearing Loss
Congratulations to Linda Miller, who presented at the 2022 NJEA Convention.
​
After the realization that the yearly convention did not cater to her as a speech therapist, or the population she served, she took action. On Friday, November 11, 2022 she spoke to educators from all over the state of NJ regarding communication and effectiveness for students who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing.

"Normally, I was a person who operated from the back or sidelines, but my dreams started moving me to the front."
