Award Winner/Nominee Details 2023
Nancy Schumann
It is my honor to nominate Nancy Schumann from Summit Speech School in New Providence, New Jersey for the 2023 Antonia Brancia Maxon Award for EHDI Excellence. Nancy Schumann is someone I met when my daughter was born with hearing loss. Nancy is everything people want in an educator and professional. She advocates, teaches, and makes parents feel seen and heard. I often tell her that I'd love her on a billboard because she has so much information to offer families.
Nancy is a true professional in her career. She has taught college-aged students, owned her own speech practice, is AVT certified, and runs the parent infant program for Summit Speech School's early intervention. Her years of experience continue to provide parents from all over the confidence they need to learn about their child's disability while making sure they are receiving the correct and most appropriate services. She makes herself available to parents and guides them to people they can contact when they need help.
I'm so glad that I was able to meet Nancy Schumann. She truly is an asset to the early hearing detection and intervention community. She deserves an honor for what she provides families in times of need and is always willing to go an extra step for families when they encounter obstacles along their journey.
