Profiad Proffesiynol a/neu Ymchwil

PhD Dr Wainwright oedd y cyntaf yn fyd-eang ym maes Llythrennedd Corfforol ac arweiniodd at sefydlu Academi Iechyd a Llythrennedd Corfforol Cymru yn PCYDDS. Archwiliodd ei hymchwil effaith cwricwlwm Cymraeg sy'n seiliedig ar chwarae ar lythrennedd corfforol plant ac arweiniodd canfyddiadau'r astudiaeth hon at ddatblygu rhaglenni datblygiad proffesiynol SKIP-Cymru a gydnabyddir yn rhyngwladol ar gyfer athrawon, cynorthwywyr addysgu, staff cyn-ysgol ac ymarferwyr iechyd. Yn ogystal, mae gwaith SKIP-Cymru wedi bod yn sail i ddatblygiad cwrs Sylfeini Adeiladu ar gyfer Chwaraeon Achrededig CIMSPA, rhaglen The Footie Families a'r ap MiniMovers ar gyfer rhieni. Mae ymchwil ym mhob cam o ddatblygiad y gwaith hwn wedi arwain at ystod o gyhoeddiadau, darlithoedd cynhadledd ryngwladol, a chyflwyniadau ym meysydd llythrennedd corfforol, addysg gorfforol, addysg plentyndod cynnar, chwaraeon ac iechyd.
