Lindsay Rodriguez
Lindsay has been associated with Sunshine Cottage School since 1995. She first arrived at the school as a parent looking for a listening and spoken language outcome for her son who is profoundly deaf and uses a cochlear implant. After completing a Master’s degree in Oral Deaf Education in 2000, she worked as a Parent-Infant Advisor at Sunshine Cottage School. Lindsay was appointed Director of the Parent-Infant Program in 2022.
She is bilingual (English/Spanish) and previously worked for 16 years teaching English Language Learners and as a textbook author/editor for Macmillan Publishers in Mexico City. Lindsay has also been trained as a Parent Advocacy Training Facilitator for the A.G. Bell Association and has given presentations on Advocacy internationally and nationally. Lindsay is a co-author of The Guide to Listening and Spoken Language: a parent-friendly, convenient checklist of information and strategies for learning to listen and talk.
Coaching parents to advocate for their child so that their child, in turn, might advocate for himself, is supremely important to Lindsay. She is a firm believer in the power of parents.
