She was delighted to be appointed head of the California laboratory team for the NICHD Study of Childcare and Youth Development – the largest project of its kind to date.

Before leaving the NHS to focus on private work, Dr Teper was appointed sole psychologist within an adult in-patient setting, and was relied upon to develop the psychological service. She has had various articles published, and selected for presentation at the British Psychological Society’s Developmental Section.
