- Profile

My background is in developmental psychology. I am particularly interested in the process of learning in children and adolescents with developmental disorders, and how mental health problems can affect the process. I am also interested in psychoeducational interventions in children and young people with neurodevelopmental disorders. My PhD research explored the association between mental health problems and adolescents and young people with developmental dyslexia, and the effectiveness of psychoeducational interventions. I am currently working with Dr Anna Weighall on a Nuffield Project entitled 'Positive Early Childhood Education Program' (PECE) which explores the acceptability of measuring potential PECE Programme impacts on children's early social and emotional development.
