Dr Sinéad McCauley Lambe is an Associate Professor in the School of Inclusive and Special Education at Dublin City University IoE. Prior to joining DCU, Sinéad lectured in the area of Early Childhood Education in Marino Institute of Education and taught for eleven years in St. Vincent’s Infant Boys’ school in North William Street. Here, Sinéad moved into teaching children with a wide range of specific learning needs. It was this work that ignited Sinéad’s interest in inclusive and special education, educational disadvantage, motor development and early intervention. Sinéad completed a Masters in Educational Disadvantage in DCU in 2011 and recently completed her PhD there in 2022. Her research interests include infant motor development and emergent handwriting development. She is the author of the recently published Move Write programme – a whole-body sensorimotor approach to handwriting.
Sinéad is also an enthusiastic advocate for inclusive and playful learning in the early years. She strongly believes in the power of puppets to nurture the moral and ethical development of all learners.
Outside of her studies and teaching, Sinéad is a keen runner, and competes with Metro St Brigid’s AC.
