Teaching and Supervision
Laura serves as the Course Director for the MSc program in Clinical & Health Psychology. Additionally, she is also the MO and lecturer on PPP-4007 (Professional Skills in Psychology) and PPP-4013 (Theoretical Models in Clinical Psychology).
She is accepting masters students for research project supervision.
Research Interests
Laura's research interests encompass two primary areas: (1) the intersection of social neuroscience and social robotics, and (2) the neuropsychological and psychosocial outcomes associated with pediatric brain injury. These areas converge through a broader focus on neuroplasticity and the exploration of cognitive domain representation within the brain.

Reading is central to modern life, yet some people will struggle to read for various reasons. In this lecture the focus was on three neurodiverse groups, and how reading is impacted in each group, and how best to support neurodiverse learners with reading.
• Overview of the main theories of reading development.
• Outlined the primary features of: dyslexia, ADHD, & autism.
• Description on how literacy is impacted in each of these groups.
• Named 1-2 ways in which we can support reading for each of these groups.
