Areas of interest

My research focuses on the lived experience of autistic children in mainstream primary schools. My work is rooted in the neurodiversity paradigm and I use various qualitative and arts-based methods to involve autistic children with a range of abilities and communication preferences in research.

I am particularly interested in autistic thriving and am co-founder of the Centre for Autism Wellbeing Hub, a 5-year funded project aimed at developing a range of activities to support autistic children and their families to lead flourishing lives.
