Research

Across various projects that we are running, we explore some of the psychological, neurological and psychosocial aspects of neuro-diverse life.

Our primary areas of research and expertise are currently in autism spectrum conditions and a relatively rare neuro-developmental condition called Williams syndrome. We work closely with the Williams Syndrome Foundation and the North East Autism Society. We explore components of behaviour associated with children and adults who have Williams syndrome, and some of the psychological, neurological and psychosocial aspects of neuro-diverse life.
