Specifically, the research will explore the tools and resources caregivers need, including coping mechanisms, increased understanding of their child’s diagnosis, and opportunities to connect with peer support networks. By addressing these areas, the study aims to empower caregivers, improve their quality of life, and foster healthier family dynamics, ultimately contributing to better outcomes for both children and their families.

A new piece of research I’ve contributed to has recently been published! This paper talks through the design process and preliminary results of a co-produced virtual reality intervention, aimed at helping adults with intellectual disabilities access healthcare. We show that virtual reality can be used to reduce anticipatory anxiety about attending a healthcare appointment and to increase tolerance of some medical investigations and treatments.
