Professor at the Australian Centre for the Advancement of Literacy, Australian Catholic University 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. In the past I have held academic positions at the University of Western Australia, Curtin University, Oxford University, and Macquarie University. In 2023, I took up two new roles: Professor at the Australian Centre for the Advancement of Literacy at ACU, and Director of Research Translation at 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 scientists who contributed to the research I cite in The Conversation. I would also like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the lands upon which some of this work was conducted: the Whadjuk Noongar people and the Cammeraygal and Wallumedegal clans of the Darug Nation.
