Profile
Amy Vogel-Eyny, PhD, CCC-SLP is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology at Hunter College. As a clinician researcher, she works to develop rehabilitative approaches to treat linguistic and cognitive difficulties in healthy aging as well as in individuals with brain injury and disease. These approaches are designed to be functionally relevant and personally meaningful to the populations she serves. Her clinical research focus is on lexical retrieval in elderly adults, post-stroke aphasia rehabilitation, and primary progressive aphasia interventions with the aim of combining evidence-based treatment approaches with brain stimulation in the form of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to enhance gains and improve quality of life.
She was recently awarded a 2-year grant (R21) from the NIA to study the effects of social isolation on word naming in elderly adults.
Dr. Vogel-Eyny has presented her work at both national and international conferences and has contributed to peer-reviewed journals with her publications.
As an active member of the department’s faculty, Dr. Vogel-Eyny serves as an advisor for the program’s chapter of the National Student Speech-Language-Hearing Association.
Dr. Vogel-Eyny is also the director of the Neurorehabilitation of Aging and Aphasia Lab which is working to improve every-day language in healthy older adults and individuals with progressive or stroke-induced aphasia.
