Biography
I am an early career researcher and emerging leader in the field of inclusive education. My research focuses on supporting teachers to create accessible pedagogical environments using Accessible Pedagogies and measures the subsequent impacts on students. I have specifically investigated processes for teacher coaching and impacts of accessible teaching on students with language and/or attentional difficulties. My doctoral research was nested in the Accessible Assessment project (LP180100830).I also conduct research in the areas of student consultation, with a focus on students with language, literacy, and learning difficulties.
My work is transdisciplinary, informed by expertise as a certified practicing educational speech pathologist of almost 20 years experience. I am an active member of Speech Pathology Australia, the national peak body for the speech pathology profession. I am also a convenor of the Australian Association for Research in Education (AARE) Inclusive Education Special Interest Group.
My work has broad applications and I have cross-disciplinary collaborations with researchers in English as an Additional Language/Dialect education. My methodological experience in qualitative methods with students with communication disorders has leveraged collaborations with colleagues in Australia, the UK, and Ireland.
