Natalie Kippin works mostly with adolescents who experience difficulties with academic achievement, behaviour and social-emotional wellbeing, and she also has experience in fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) and youth justice. Her research highlighted the significant level of language disorder among individuals in youth justice, much of which is associated with FASD. Currently, Natalie is involved in a study profiling the language skills and mental wellbeing of secondary students in non-mainstream schools.
