My research has included developing methods for, and supporting implementation of, population surveys to i) estimate prevalence of disability and impairment and related service (health, AT, rehabilitation) needs and ii) generate disability-dissagregated data to identify and monitor inequalities and disparities in inclusion. I have also worked on mixed method and qualitative projects, exploring the lived experience and inclusion of people with disabilities in different settings and developing and pilot testing interventions aimed at improving health and well-being of people with disabilities.

I am currently working on two main projects as Principal Investigator. The first is a study exploring access to education and employment for young people with disabilities in 7 African countries: Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Ghana, Nigeria, Senegal. Working in partnership with research institutions in each country and guided by an advisory group of young people with disabilities, the project includes policy reviews and interviews with stakeholders and youth with disabilities from each of the countries. The second project, is developing a survey tool and bespoke app to assess impairments, functioning and related service and assistive product needs across seven functional domains (Funded by UK Aid through the AT2030 programme (https://at2030.org/) led by the Global Disability Innovation Hub).
