I studied at Macquarie University and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at University College London. I spent 12 years at The University of Sydney and, during that time, was promoted from lecturer through to full professor. In 2020, I moved to Flinders University to take up the role of Dean of Research in the College of Nursing and Health Sciences. My interdisciplinary research program on child development and disability has been funded by the Australian Research Council (ARC) since 2007 and I enjoy collaborating with a diverse group of colleagues and organisations from around Australia as well as the UK, Norway, Singapore, US, Italy, Israel, The Netherlands, and China. I have served on several national and international Boards (Luke Priddis Foundation, Society for Scientific Studies of Reading, and the Association for Reading and Writing in Asia). I have served as an Associate Editor on two journals and on the Editorial Boards of an additional 3 journals. I co-edited a book on Communication in Autism and have published over 100 peer-reviewed articles in journals such as Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, Developmental Science, Current Directions in Psychological Science, Developmental Psychology, Cognition, Autism, Child Development, Journal of Educational Psychology, Hearing Research, Exceptional Children, Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, Research in Developmental Disabilities, Language Speech and Hearing Services in Schools, Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition.
