The Bureaucracy and Teacher Microphones

My guest today is Suzanne Rupp DeMallie, who’s recently published an amazing book: Can You Hear Me Now?: Join the Conversation to Make Public Education a Better Choice. As a parent to a child with auditory processing deficit, Suzanne fought a nationwide battle against bureaucracy to get teacher microphones into classrooms throughout the United States.

We're discussing her family's experience with auditory processing disorder, practical ideas for supporting kids dealing with the issue at home and at school, and what it was like fighting for microphones in the classroom at the national level.
