A future audiologist and speech-language pathologist who believes communication is connection — and that everyone deserves to be heard.
Amanda J. Elia · Communication Sciences & Disorders
I'm a college senior studying Communication Sciences & Disorders, working toward a career in pediatric audiology and speech-language pathology. What draws me to this field is simple: every person has a story they're trying to tell — and to tell it, they first have to be heard.
This page is where I share that focus — the areas I'm passionate about, how I think about the work, and an easy way to reach me. I bring patience, a sense of play, and genuine care to everything I do.
Senior in Communication Sciences & Disorders, headed for graduate study and clinical training — with a love for how children learn to hear, listen, and communicate.
From hearing to speaking — the areas of pediatric audiology and speech-language pathology I care most about.
Early hearing screening and healthy listening — because catching what matters early changes everything.
Making sounds clear and intelligible — for kids learning to talk and anyone working to be understood.
Building vocabulary, sentences, comprehension, and the ability to express ideas and follow them.
Strategies and confidence for smoother, more comfortable speech that feels like your own.
Conversation, turn-taking, and connection — the skills that make relationships work.
Supporting speech and language after stroke, injury, or neurological change, at a human pace.
The people around you are part of the journey. Progress sticks when it lives at home, not just in a session.
Grounded in what the research supports — delivered in a way that actually feels good to show up for.
Clear goals, honest check-ins, and small wins that add up to real change you can hear.
