Biography

Kirsten completed her Master of Clinical Psychology and Doctor of Philosophy at UWA. Since completing her PhD, she has been involved in the development and launch of the Graduate Certificate in the Diagnosis and Assessment of FASD. She continues to coordinate the Graduate Certificate, which is offered to students around the country, and globally in 2021. Kirsten's research interests are more clinically focused, including evaluation of diagnostic models of care, interventions, education and training programs. She continues to be involved in research projects related to FASD, including a recent grant around employment pathways for individuals with FASD involved with the Justice system.

Current projects

We are asking Psychologists to participate in FASD research by completing an online survey that will take 10-15 minutes to complete.  The survey is part of a PhD project “Improving the identification of Australian students with FASD: The development of a training package to increase psychologists’ understanding and confidence in FASD assessment”. Katherine Kerimofski (Doctoral Candidate) is supervised by Associate Professor Carmela Pestell and Dr Kirsten Panton. Ethics approval for the above project has been granted in accordance with the requirements of the National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research (National Statement) and the policies and procedures of The University of Western Australia (Ref 2021/ET000667).
