She is trained and certified to teach the entire Cued Speech system for American English and to accurately describe its history, the rationale for its use, and the evidence-based research supporting its benefits. Sandy has taught hundreds of parents and professionals to cue in a variety of settings, both online and in person. She has presented at many state, regional and national professional conferences over the years on a wide range of Cued Speech related topics, with a special focus on best practices for use of Cued Speech in the home with children from infancy through adulthood.
Sandy is a co-founder of the Alexander Graham Bell Montessori School & Alternatives in Education for Deaf and Hard-of-hearing Individuals (AGBMS-AEHI), an Illinois not-for-profit organization providing mainstream educational programming for deaf and hearing children ages 6 months through middle school -- made accessible to all via the use of Cued Speech. She was the president of the board of AGBMS-AEHI for over 15 years and, beginning in 2015, co-founded Cue College, an outreach program of AGBMS-AEHI consisting of an online platform for providing unlimited access for parents and professionals to Cued Speech information, training, and resources.
Sandy also has had the unique experience of raising a deaf child with Cued Speech. Sandy's daughter uses English as her primary language -- with Spanish and Hebrew as additional languages acquired over time. Sandy also provided her daughter with complete access to ASL beginning at age 5 and is experienced with the integration of cued spoken language, sign language, and technology, at home and at school.
