Fellow, International Academy of Research in Learning Disabilities
Background

I graduated from the Townsville Teachers College with a Diploma of Teaching in 1974. I taught in a number of schools in North Queensland teaching all of the primary grades one through seven. During this time I completed studies in a Bachelor of Education and Master of Education (Special Education). In 1982 I began work in the special education sector of Education Queensland working with students with learning difficulties in regular schools, gifted and talented students, the hearing impaired and with students with moderate and severe intellectual disabilities in segregated special schools. During this period I began studies for a Doctor of Philosophy degree.

After 15 years as a practitioner in primary and special education settings, I was appointed as a lecturer in special education at the University of New England in 1989. In 1992 I was awarded a Doctor of Philosophy degree and in 1994 promoted to Senior Lecturer. Also during this time I was invited to the University of Alberta (twice) to teach summer schools to graduate students on the psychology and needs of students with special needs.

In July 1998, I was appointed to the Faculty of Education and Creative Arts of Central Queensland University, Mackay Campus as a Senior Lecturer in education. In 2001 I was promoted to Associate Professor and in 2007 appointed Professor. At CQU, my roles have included teaching undergraduate and postgraduate students, administration, research and community work. I was appointed the Associate Dean (Research) of the Faculty of Education & Creative Arts from 2003 to 2008, and from 2009-2010 the Deputy Associate Dean (Research & Innovation) of the Faculty of Arts, Business, Informatics & Education containing Schools of Arts, Business, Law, Creative and Performing Arts, ICT, and Education. I am currently the Professor of Education in the School of Education and at present teach nine part-time doctoral candidates. I am also an active member of the Learning and Teaching Education Research Centre (LTERC), a designated strategic education research flagship of the university, participating in research activities and mentoring junior academics.
