Research

Chris Bigby and I have just completed an evaluation of a Victorian residential service for people with intellectual disabilities and challenging behaviour. The funding for this project was awarded by the Office of the Senior Practitioner. I am currently working on an Australian Research Council project called ‘Realising an ‘ordinary life’ for people with intellectual disabilities: Developing a theoretical framework fro group home outcomes’. This is a collaborative research project between Chris Bigby and myself at La Trobe University; Jim Mansell and Julie Beadle-Brown at the University of Kent; and Marie Knox at Queensland University of Technology.
