Ebony is a Senior Research Fellow in the School of Psychological Sciences, Faculty of Medicine Nursing and Health Sciences, Monash University. To date, her research has focused on understanding the variability among Autistic children and the factors that contribute to the wide range of presentations in this population. She has examined how attention and perception vary as a function of motor proficiency and investigated the contribution of sleep disturbance on behaviour in this population. Ebony has also been involved in the AllPlay programs, which focus on promoting inclusion and access into community-based sports and arts for children with neurodevelopmental disorders and other disabilities. She is currently overseeing the AllPlay Dance programs through which she continues to pursue her interest in understanding the potential benefits that dance may offer children with neurodevelopmental conditions and other disabilities across motor, cognitive, social-emotional, and behavioural domains.
Ebony also practice as a Senior Clinical Neuropsychologist. Her primary clinical interests include Autism, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Specific Learning Disorders, and Motor Disorders. She also enjoys providing neuropsychological input for individuals experiencing intellectual problems and neurodevelopmental difficulties arising from other medical conditions.
Ebony most enjoys integrating her clinical and research knowledge to support and improve outcomes from children and young people with neurodevelopmental differences.
