Alyssa’s research uses the neurodiversity paradigm and participatory methods to develop evidence-based interventions that facilitate children’s and young people’s educational inclusion and wellbeing. She is particularly interested in support for neurodivergent learners and those with additional support needs, school-based interventions, and the role of knowledge, attitudes, and stigma in educational practice. She is also interested more broadly in promoting community involvement in academic research, and supporting colleagues to use participatory methods.
