Dr Lorna Hamilton

Lorna Hamilton is a developmental psychologist whose work focuses on neurodiversity in educational settings. Her research examines contextual factors that contribute to educational outcomes for neurodivergent children and young people in schools and universities. Lorna is an advocate of neurodiversity-affirming educational practice, and increasingly uses participatory methods to understand how educators can provide fit-for-purpose learning experiences for the widest range of learners. She works in partnership with schools, local authorities and charities such as Spectrum First Education to translate research into educational practice.
