I am an Associate Professor in Inclusive Pedagogy with over twenty years of experience as an educator across a wide range of specialist and mainstream school settings, spanning all age phases. My research focuses on inclusive practices that support children and young people in educational environments. I have substantial experience in conducting both small- and large-scale educational research, as well as leading projects centered on educational inclusion. Currently, I am contributing to research exploring the development of inclusive education in Wales in the context of recent educational reforms.
