Rosie Waxman

Rosie Waxman, from the Hudson Valley, NY, is a masters student studying Communicative Disorders and Sciences.  Rosie is motivated to contribute to scientific research and practice in a meaningful way, passionate about linking overarching themes with evidence-based practice, and to make our differences just a little more manageable.

​

Rosie's initial love for language has evolved into a focus on understanding physical, mental and communicative disabilities, and their impact on human development and in therapeutic intervention.  She is also interested in how interpersonal dynamics and time impact broader aspects of our individual identity and emotional experiences, and how we quantify abstract values in terms of prosocial engagement.

​

With experience in evaluating developmentally appropriate word-finding difficulties, dependent on the neurological basis of aphasia, in addition to working as a graduate student clinician in her university’s Speech-Language Pathology clinic, Rosie is joining a new lab this autumn to research the effects of stress, coping and prosocial engagement on everyday life.
