Personal profile
Research Interests
My primary research interests are sleep difficulties, self-injury and other negative outcomes for people with intellectual disability, and the impact these have on their caregivers.
In particular, I am interested in developing more inclusive methods of assessment for clinically relevant outcomes in people with intellectual disability (e.g. sleep, pain, behaviour).
