Researcher Summary
My research interests focus on the health and wellbeing of neurodiverse children and those with lifelong physical health conditions. I have a specific interest in digital-delivery of supports for autistic tamariki and their caregivers, with particular expertise and interest in sleep assessment and support.
I lead the Waiora Tamariki Programme at the University of Canterbury. This programme of research focuses on investigating the effectiveness and acceptability of digitally-delivered supports across sleep, eating/feeding, toileting, and communication of autistic tamariki and caregiver mental health.
