‘How do children experience friendships?’
My research explores how children with special educational needs and disabilities, specifically those with a formal diagnosis of Autism or Developmental Language Disorder, experience friendships. I am interested in how those experiences may differ between mainstream and specialised educational settings. My research is primarily qualitative, and I am interested in how we can use creative data collection methods to facilitate the participation of children with additional needs in research.
Other research experience:
2020 – present: Research Assistant, Transition support during COVID-19
2020 – 2020: Research Assistant, ParentChild+ Evaluation Trial (EEF)
