Placement students

I am an undergraduate student currently studying psychology and I am thrilled to be completing my placement year with the NDAU. My passion for developmental psychology, has only deepened throughout my studies and recent volunteer work. I am grateful to have the opportunity to engage with children and their families, and collaborate with educational psychologists, to further my learning and contribute to the well-being and development of the children we support.
Caitlin Daniels

I am an undergraduate psychology student at Cardiff University and I am excited to be completing my placement year at the NDAU. I am interested in pursuing a career in educational psychology as I am passionate about supporting children and their well-being. My previous experience of working with children has only fueled this interest and motivated my psychological learning. I am very excited to meet the children and the very important adults in their lives, and to work with them as part of the amazing team at the NDAU.
Shalla Patel

My name is Leilu and I am carrying out this placement year as part of my Psychology undergraduate degree at Cardiff University. I am excited to complete my placement at NDAU as a way to expand my knowledge of the developmental field and learn more about educational psychology. Having previously worked with children, I realise the importance of understanding neurodivergent minds. During this placement I am hoping to develop my knowledge of research skills and understanding of neurodevelopmental concerns to further to aid in my future career.

I am an undergraduate psychology student at Cardiff University, currently undertaking a placement year here at the NDAU. After working with children with additional needs and their parents, I’m super passionate about providing and improving the quality of our support services. I am eager to develop a career in developmental psychology, and this placement is a valuable step toward that goal. It’s great to be part of this team and help contribute to such important work!
