Special education, inclusion and issues related to the development of inclusive schools are close to my heart. I am also interested in learning about augmentative and alternative communication methods for pupils with intellectual disabilities. In my dissertation, I am investigating how co-teaching can be used to promote inclusion in schools. I am a member of the research group Diversity in Education (DivE)
