Research interests
My research uses the neurodiversity paradigm and participatory methods to develop evidence-based interventions that facilitate children’s and young people’s educational inclusion and wellbeing. I am particularly interested in support for neurodivergent learners and those with additional support needs, school-based interventions, and the role of knowledge, attitudes, and stigma in inclusive practice.
Keywords: neurodiversity, education, psychology participatory design, HCI, interaction design, autism, ASN/SEND.
