About Hannah

Dr. Hannah Kirk is a Senior Lecturer in Developmental Psychology at the Turner Institute for Brain and Mental Health, School of Psychological Sciences, Monash University, Melbourne. She holds a PhD in Psychological Sciences from Monash University and leads the Child Development and Digital Technologies (CDDT) Laboratory, previously known as the Developmental Risk and Digital Innovation (DRDI) Laboratory. Her research examines how digital technologies and global environmental changes influence children's mental health, cognitive development, behaviour, and learning outcomes, with a focus on developmentally at-risk and neurodivergent children, including those with autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, Williams syndrome, Down syndrome, and intellectual disabilities. Kirk is the co-inventor of TALI Train, the world’s first game-based digital attention intervention for neurodivergent children, now an FDA and TGA approved Class 1 Medical Device used globally. She has led multiple clinical trials demonstrating its efficacy in improving attention, executive functioning, academic achievement, and behaviour in children with developmental disorders. Her work also pioneers research on eco-anxiety in children, including the development and validation of the first assessment tool for primary school-aged children.
