  • My research focuses on the daily environments of children and youth with disabilities and their families. One part of this research program explores how the policies, designs and organization of homes, schools, and neighbourhoods can impact the participation of children and youth with disabilities. I have lead the development of a School Accessibility Tool© (the SAT) which has been endorsed by a local group of youth with disabilities. Another area of focus is including children and youth with disabilities as active research participants and recognizing that they have important ideas for change. I have worked collaboratively with school boards, service providers and municipalities, and children and families to evaluate and improve the accessibility and inclusiveness of children’s built environments. My research is published in the journals Social Science and Medicine; Health and Social Care in the Community; Gender, Place and Culture; Children’s Geographies; Children, Youth and Environment; International Journal for Equity in Health; Disability and Rehabilitation; Child: Care, Health and Development.
