The All-Access Pass keeps it forever.
Julie Rems-Smario, Ed.D., is an Education Programs Consultant for the Deaf Education Unit at the California Department of Education and co-coordinates California's Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) system through LEAD-K Family Services. She advocates nationally with the LEAD-K Campaign for early language acquisition milestone laws that promote language access for Deaf and hard of hearing infants and young children, and she co-founded CoFusion Group to address educational inequities through abolitionist work.
Julie was honored by CNN Heroes and E-Women Network in 2007 for her work with DeafHope, supporting Deaf survivors of abuse. She earned her Ed.D. from California State University, East Bay, in 2021. Julie lives in California with her spouse. Outside of her professional work, she treasures spending time with their grandchildren, including her Deaf granddaughter, whose arrival has made her life's work in early language access deeply personal, as well as their two beloved chihuahuas.
