Delaney graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Communication Sciences and Disorders with a minor in Deaf and Hard of Hearing from Stephen F. Austin State University. Throughout her academic career, Delaney has gained valuable experience working directly with the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community through her roles as an American Sign Language interpreter and as an American Sign Language tutor at SFASU. Her hands-on experience in these positions has provided her with deep insights into deaf culture and strengthened her communication abilities in both signed and spoken languages.

Looking ahead, Delaney plans to further her education by pursuing a Master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology in the coming year.

Her passion for becoming a Speech-Language Pathologist was ignited by a significant observation during her work as an American Sign Language interpreter. She noticed a concerning gap in the field that SLPs had limited knowledge and use of American Sign Language as a tool for language development. This observation highlighted an opportunity to bridge an important communication gap in the field of speech and language therapy.

Delaney’s commitment to pursuing speech-language pathology was further solidified by a deeply personal experience when her close friend sustained a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Witnessing her friend’s journey through recovery and rehabilitation provided intimate insight into the crucial role that Speech-Language Pathologists play in helping individuals regain their communication abilities after brain injury. This personal connection to the field, combined with her expertise in American Sign Language, fueled her determination to become a Speech-Language Pathologist who could offer comprehensive communication support utilizing both spoken and signed languages.

Through these experiences, Delaney recognized the unique perspective she could bring to the field by combining her understanding of deaf culture and American Sign Language with traditional speech and language therapy approaches. Her goal is to help create more inclusive and effective therapeutic practices that can better serve all individuals with communication needs.

Delaney is an enthusiastic traveler; she delights in exploring new destinations around the world. When at home, she unwinds with romance novels and treasures quality time spent with her boyfriend and their playful black Lab, Phoebe.
