As a professional psychologist my career has been largely in developmental psychology in provision and management of services for children and families, early childhood intervention for children with developmental delays and disabilities, disadvantage and trauma, and in educational psychology in schools. However, I have also worked with adults with emotional and learning concerns and in designing interventions for them.
As a researcher my interests have been predominantly in the social-emotional development of young children and in early years service provision to promote social-emotional competence and behavioural regulation in young children.
At present I work casually in the Faculty of Education Monash University, and also provide training in the Pyramid Model.
Together with Dr Tim Moore, I convene a network of psychologists working in early childhood intervention who have recently established an APS early childhood intervention interest group.
