Neurodevelopment Assessment Unit team
Meet our NDAU research team including placement students and co-investigators.
Placement students
I am currently an undergraduate psychology student going into my third year, during which I will be working with the NDAU team. After working with children who have a wide range of additional learning needs, I have become even more passionate about a career in educational psychology. I am eager to work with the NDAU team to support children’s wellbeing, development and learning through collaboration with them, their parents, teachers and educational psychologists.
My name is Elan, I’ve been studying psychology in Cardiff University for two years. I’m about to start my placement at NDAU and eager to engage with different families to further expand my knowledge in the developmental field. I aspire to work with children since being a support worker in an integrated team for children with learning difficulties for almost a year. I’m looking forward to meeting the families and children that engage with NDAU.
I am an undergraduate Psychology student at Cardiff University and will be completing my placement year at the NDAU. I am looking forward to working with the team at the NDAU and with the visiting children and families. I am excited to build on my previous experience of working with children and am grateful for the opportunity to expand my knowledge, which will be helpful for a future in educational/clinical psychology.
I am an undergraduate Biomedical Sciences student at Cardiff University, undertaking a placement year at the NDAU. I first became interested in researching neurodevelopment in children while studying neuroscience and I look forward to furthering my knowledge during this placement. I can’t wait to meet all the children and families that come to the unit and to gain a deeper understanding and ability to support young children in need. I hope that this opportunity will be beneficial for my final year project and will lead me down an exciting career path.
