About
After studying for a BSc in Neuroscience, Jeanne worked for an online start-up the arts sector. She returned to academia to complete an MSc in Psychology, after which she joined the Great Ormond Street UCL Institute of Child Health to complete her PhD and work on the national IMAGINE ID study (Intellectual Disability and Mental Health: Assessing the Genomic Impact on Neurodevelopment).
Jeanne's research interests are focused on understanding the impact of co-occurring mental health difficulties in children and young people (CYP) with neurodevelopmental disorders and/or rare genetic disorders, and digital approaches to psycho-social intervention for these CYP and their families.
Jeanne’s PhD piloted the online delivery of a social skills training programme for girls with a rare genetic disorder called Turner Syndrome. She is currently investigating changes in the mental health and behaviour of children with rare genetic disorders, as part of the IMAGINE-ID programme of research.
Jeanne is a co-investigator on the Children’s Autism Technology Assisted Assessments (CHATA) project which aims to digitise autism assessment procedures for families from diverse ethnic backgrounds and the Digital Family Support (DiFS) study which aims to see if an online family support programme (Stepping Stones Triple P [SSTP] Online) can improve behaviour and emotional problems in children with learning disabilities.
