Overview
Background
Aisling Mulvihill is a postdoctoral researcher in the Thorpe Lab at The Queensland Brain Institute. Her research activities span the topics of social cognition and self-regulation from early childhood to adolescence.
As a speech pathologist, Aisling has extensive clinical expertise in supporting children with learning and social-emotional challenges relating to Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). In 2013, she co-authored the Ant Patrol Children’s Stories, a series of six educational children’s stories that aim to support children’s social and emotional learning. The series has been well-received by educators, allied health professionals and parents.
Aisling’s current research investigates the relationship between language and theory of mind, and the use of self-talk to regulate thinking and behavior in young children.
