The goal of my research is to understand what causes reading and language difficulties in children, how these difficulties can be identified and treated effectively, and how they relate to emotional health. I am a passionate advocate for the rapid translation of scientific knowledge into real-world practice.
Over the last 25 years, I have held academic positions at the University of Western Australia, Curtin University, Oxford University, and Macquarie University. On May 1 2023, I will take up two new roles that link reading research directly with with practice: Professor at the new Australian Centre for the Advancement of Literacy (ACU) and Director of Research Translation at the Dyslexia SPELD Foundation. I am also the research translator for MOTIf (Macquarie Online Test Interface; www.motif.org.au).
I would like to acknowledge the efforts of all the people who contributed to works mentioned in these pages, and also the traditional custodians of the land upon which I live, the Cammeraygal clan of the Darug Nation.
