Breaking news! Actress Marlee Matlin to Keynote CEC’s
2009 Convention & Expo
 We are pleased to announce the
convention’s keynote speaker, actress Marlee Matlin. Ms. Matlin
has starred in numerous feature films and television shows and won the
1986 Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in “Children of a
Lesser God.” Passionate about children, she has appeared in
numerous educational children’s programs and authored three
children’s novels about coping with deafness. Ms. Matlin was
instrumental in persuading Congress to pass federal legislation
requiring that all televisions manufactured in the United States be
equipped with closed captioning technology. Ms. Matlin is also involved
with such charitable organizations as the American Red Cross, Easter
Seals, and the Children Affected by AIDS Foundation.
Marlee Matlin is an advocate for all children, especially those with
disabilities. CEC is very pleased to have Ms. Matlin as the keynote
speaker at our 2009 Convention & Expo.
Mark your calendars for April 1–4, 2009, for CEC’s
Convention & Expo — the heart and soul of the special
education community.
