  • 1st Year Trainee - Speech Language Pathology

Kelsie Daley is 2nd year graduate student in the Master’s of Speech-Language Pathology program at the University of Pittsburgh. She received her Bachelor’s degree from the University of Pittsburgh in 2017, with majors in both Communication Science and Sociology. Throughout college, she served as a team leader for the AmeriCorps program Jumpstart, a language and literacy initiative designed for preschoolers in underserved communities, and now serves as a liaison on the alumni board. Later, she went on to serve as an assistant teacher at Heritage 4 Kids Community Initiatives. The children she always enjoyed working with most were those with disabilities, whose classroom experiences and outcomes could be enhanced by providing them with the tools they needed to thrive in their own unique ways. The experiences Kelsie shared with children and their families shaped the way she views communication - as a basic human right, which clinicians and educators have the responsibility to promote while ensuring that services are accessible and culturally competent.

Kelsie views LEND as a tremendous opportunity to work with children with disabilities in an interdisciplinary setting. She hopes to ensure that from the earliest stages of their lives, children with disabilities are provided with a team of caring, knowledgeable professionals dedicated to helping them achieve their fullest potential. In the future, Kelsie plans to pursue a career serving pediatric populations with speech, language, and swallowing disorders from low socioeconomic backgrounds in a team-based setting. She believes that through LEND, she will build upon skills necessary to be an increasingly effective collaborator, communicator, and advocate for children with disabilities and their families. Kelsie hopes become a true leader in her field, while working to ensure that children who need services most have access to them.
