Laboratory for Innovation in AutismResearch Outputs

Our lab advances theories of embodiment and intersubjectivity in early psychological development, which underpin experiences related to learning, emotional wellbeing, and health. These advancements are reflected in our neuroscientific, psychological, and educational research, catalysed by engineering and technology developments that advance scalable methods and practical benefits for inclusive educational and therapeutic practices. Our work is published in peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly papers, and delivers real world impact through our clinical and educational partners, parents, and stakeholders in the autism and neurodiverse communities.
