Alice Greenwood is a speech pathologist, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), educator, researcher, and parent who is passionate about helping people make sense of complex experiences.

Her work explores the places where health, communication, neurodivergence, education, and family life overlap—particularly when those experiences don't fit neatly within a single diagnosis, profession, or service. She believes that understanding grows when research, clinical knowledge, and lived experience are brought together rather than treated as separate sources of expertise.

Alice is currently undertaking a PhD at Charles Sturt University exploring how people with invisible chronic illness use language throughout their health journey, and what this can teach us about communication, understanding, and care. Alongside her research, she writes about the everyday realities of navigating complex systems and translates research into practical, accessible information for families and professionals.

Her perspective is shaped not only by her professional background across speech pathology, child development, primary education, parent–infant feeding, and health research administration, but also by lived experience as an AuDHD woman with chronic health conditions and the parent of three neurodivergent children with complex support needs.

Whether she's writing, teaching, supporting families, or conducting research, Alice's goal is the same: to help people understand complexity with greater clarity, compassion, and confidence.

Alice's work currently focuses on:

• Neurodivergence across the lifespan, including autism and ADHD

• Supporting neurodivergent parents and families

• Infant feeding and lactation, particularly in neurodivergent families

• Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS), Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), and related invisible chronic illnesses

• Communication throughout the health journey

• School advocacy, burnout, and sustainable supports

• Family-centred, autonomy-supportive care

• Bridging research, clinical practice, and lived experience
