Abstract
During my Ph.D. studies, I aim to assess the impact of social relationships with sighted peers and teachers on the self-concept and academic performance of adolescents with visual impairment. I am also investigating the factors which affect these social relationships, such as nationality, extent of vision loss, socio-economic status, parental and teaching support.
I am also a member of the Developing Minds Lab at Kingston University London:
The Developing Minds lab at Kingston University London carries out research in typical and atypical development across the lifespan (children, adolescents, and adults). Our expertise covers areas such as autism, social cognition, and cognitive development. Current research focuses on face processing, Theory of Mind, emotion understanding, sensory profiles and implication for education, social inclusion, visual impairments, reading development, and creativity.
