About

Overview

Penny is a developmental and educational psychologist with a particular interest in the effects of early experience and disadvantage on language, literacy and psychosocial development. She joined City University London in 1983. Penny began her career as a qualified teacher before studying psychology as an undergraduate. Her research interest in early psychosocial disadvantage and educational achievement developed through post graduate studies at the London School of Economics and as a Research Fellow at the Institute of Psychiatry.

Penny also qualified as an Educational Psychologist at the Tavistock Centre, and has worked clinically with, amongst others, 'looked after' children and young people, and hearing and deaf clients of all ages with concerns about literacy. After a number of years lecturing at the University of London, Penny moved to City University London in the 80s, where she completed her PhD.

Penny has now taught her last cohort of pre- and post- registration speech and language therapy students, but continues to work part-time on collaborative research projects and research supervision.

Research

Research overview

Penny has several strands to her research activities but much of her work shares a common interest in the effects of early experience on verbal and non-verbal abilities in the pre-school years and children's eventual capacity to successfully access education. Her studies have included children whose early exposure to language and psychosocial experiences have been compromised in some way-for example, children raised in institutional care, those from socio-economically deprived backgrounds, and deaf children. Part of Penny's collaborative work has been the development of novel pre-school measures of phonology and social cognitive skills and the standardisation of a UK version of a well-established parental report measure of early vocabulary for hearing and deaf BSL users.

On-going areas of research include:

- Early phonological and sociocognitive skills as predictors of later language and communication difficulties
- Language, sociocognitive and psychosocial behavioural pathways of children with language and social communication difficulties in mid-childhood
- Repetition (word, nonword and sentence) as measures of language
- Socioeconomic status (SES) factors and language impairment
- Differentiation of language disorders and language disadvantage
- Reading, spelling and dyslexia in oral deaf children and British Sign Language (BSL) users

Research areas

- Developmental language and communication disorders
- Preschool language and social cognition assessments
- Language and psychosocial development
- Reading in deaf children
