About Dr. Egbert
Do you often wonder if you'll ever find a professional who really understands what you're going through as a parent? or as a student? or as a professional? Dr. Egbert is that rare individual whose background includes the professional along with the every day practical thereby making her an ideal advocate, presenter or consultant. Dr. Egbert's professional and personal experiences have enabled her to glean a broad understanding of the challenges faced by students, teachers and parents in the educational process of children and young people who are Deaf/ Hard of Hearing and multicultural. As a mother she has faced the challenges of raising a child with special needs and maneuvering the IEP process. As a student and professional she has faced the challenges of using interpreters in a variety of settings. And as an educator she has seen first hand the challenges teachers face. It is through these experiences that she is able to bring a unique perspective to the field of education and create a bridge between the personal experiences of people with whom she works and the educational system in which they find themselves.
