My research focuses on healthy and atypical development. One of the key areas of research involves delineating the behavioural phenotype of children and adults with developmental disabilities as well as striving to understand the biological and environmental influences that shape theses developmental processes. Many children with developmental disabilities are at higher risk of developing mental health concerns at some point in their lives and understanding how and why this increased risk is present is important to improve the quality of life of these individuals. I am also undertaking research into maternal and paternal mental health and the relationship to family functioning but also child outcomes.
Working with families who have loved ones affected by disabilities or mental health problems can be heartbreaking but more often it fills you with an enormous sense of hope to see how resilient many families are. To figure out what makes so many families strong in the face of adversity and to use that knowledge to help other families, that is one of the reasons why I am a researcher.
To empower families that have more challenges than others, to overcome and get stronger to provide the best possible support for their children and each other.

"Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) affects learning, social participation and daily function across the lifespan. Approximately 35,000 school-aged Australian children live with ASD; 95% of these experience educational restrictions. ASD has no known cure, and its causes are poorly understood due to the variability in how the disorder emerges and presents. Further, available treatments are only moderately successful and are not effective for all children with ASD. Knowledge about what (intervention) is likely to work for whom is missing from the field.
