Dr. Miller's research focuses on English Language Learners with or at-risk for disabilities, culturally responsive education practices, and literacy and language development. She investigates intersections between bilingual education and special education, developing practical strategies for educators working with culturally and linguistically diverse students who may have learning challenges. Her work emphasizes evidence-based interventions that respect students' cultural backgrounds while addressing academic needs.

Analysis of her 15 most recent publications (2014-2024) reveals consistent themes in special education for English learners, including culturally responsive teaching methods, disproportionate discipline issues for Latinx students with disabilities, and technology-enhanced interventions like Content Acquisition Podcasts. Key trends show progression toward practical classroom applications, with increasing emphasis on self-determination strategies and family engagement for diverse student populations.
