Research Biography

The goal of my work is to support people with disabilities to be full participating members of our diverse society. The drive behind my work is a fundamental belief in equality, inclusion, and self-determination and in the social-ecological model of disability, which defines disability an interaction between personal characteristics and environmental demands, rather than as a deficit within a person. My works encompasses three primary areas: • Developing strategies to teach skills associated with the development of self-determination • Creating environmental opportunities for the expression of self-determination across the various contexts within which people with disabilities live, learn, work, and play • Developing systems of supports to address the discrepancy between personal capacity and environmental demands that are person-centered and outcomes driven.
