Super happy end to the conference as my and @zannaclay.bsky.social 's student Georgia Tuohy wins best talk! And @amandinevisine.bsky.social who works with @sheinalew.bsky.social wins best poster (pic to follow). @durhamdevsci.bsky.social on a roll! 😆 @durhampsych.bsky.social #ehbea #ehbea2025

The journey continues....with new research from our group ongoing - and with new developments for Triple-A, such as a focus on PE specifically, and with a whole-school in-person version of the training! Watch this space……

Once again, thank you to all the wonderful children, young people, parents and teachers who took part in the underpinning research, and to our amazing team of autistic people, parents, teachers and academics who co-designed the training tool. @21andsensory.bsky.social

It’s been such an interesting and worthwhile journey so far - with over 8000 users and considerable evidence of positive impact on understanding and practice. Here we share our new pre-print on the development of Triple-A, including analysis of its use and impact so far: doi.org/10.31234/osf...

It has been just over 3 years since we (@debbieriby.bsky.social & I) launched Triple-A (www.tripledurham.co.uk) - a training tool for educators for supporting autistic and neurodivergent pupils with attention, sensory arousal and anxiety.

Pleased to contribute to this

New paper! V excited to have published my first #cognitive #DevelopmentalPsychology project. 😁 We demonstrated body weight after effects in 7-10yos, 11-12yos, 14-15yos, and adults. Data suggest that just like with faces, visual representations of bodies mature relatively young.

The 7-10yo data were collected at @durhamdevsci.bsky.social 's Junior Scientist community event. You'd think a big noisy hall, competing with cool VR studies, would be tough for good data collection but I've never seen an effect quite this clean! #PsychSciSky

Presence on Presence: I watched Soderbergh's new film and wrote a bit for @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/film/2025/ja...

Great to see work from our team lead by the fantastic @fassiluisa.bsky.social being written up for a general audience by The Mental Elf! Worth a read if you are interested in the evidence base on social media and clinical anxiety/depression in young people ⬇️

So, I got another piece of good news yesterday too... 😊

New article from Debbie Riby, @dramypearson.bsky.social and Jess Hirst from @durhampsych.bsky.social & @durhamdevsci.bsky.social on how #universitiescan support #neurodivergentresearchers Read it here: bit.ly/3CdlDcj #academia #highered #neurodiversity

Exciting times! After years of doing research with children and publishing it in topic-specialist outlets, I have finally got my first paper led by me unto a developmental journal! Big thanks to @durhamdevsci.bsky.social !

Some big smiles despite the cold as current and previous lab members and Psycholgy Spanish conversation clubbers graduate with their PhDs/MRes. @durhampsych.bsky.social @durhamdevsci.bsky.social @ninedtp.bsky.social

A lovely roundup of all the wonderful things going on in the @durhamdevsci.bsky.social group at Durham :) Here's to an awesome 2025! 🥳

It's the most incredible time of the year: our inaugural roundup of Durham Dev Sci exciting stuff from 2024. No.1 is @mimhanley.bsky.social winning her BPS Impact & Engagement Award! Mary won for her work on autism & Williams Syndrome, inc. Triple A which supports neurodiversity in schools 1/n

What amazing colleagues I have in @durhampsych.bsky.social and in the @durhamdevsci.bsky.social group in particular. It's been one hell of a year. #DevelopmentalPsychology #Interdisciplinarity #ParticipatoryAction #ActuallyAutistic research
