Biographical Sketch:
Rosie Waxman, from the Hudson Valley, New York, is a masters student studying Communicative Disorders and Sciences. She is motivated to contribute to scientific research and practice in a meaningful way. She is passionate about linking overarching themes with evidence-based practice that is righteously rigorous and exceedingly ethical, reducing procedural rigor to make room for perceptual rigor and to make our differences just a little more manageable.
Rosie is interested in how individuals with disabilities process information and express themselves.
Her initial love for language has evolved into a focus on understanding physical, mental, and communicative disabilities, and their impact on child development over time in needs assessment and therapeutic intervention. She is also interested in how we quantify abstract personal characteristics and their influence on prosocial engagement.
In the lab, Rosie contributed to development of an in-house assessment battery to evaluate word-finding difficulties, dependent on the neurological basis of aphasia, in addition to exploring the effects of prosocial behavior on stress responses, considering adverse experiences and capacity for empathy.
Currently, she works as a graduate student clinician in her university's speech–language pathology clinic.
