  • My research interests are focused on the role of assistive technologies in increasing the levels of functioning, capacity, and participation in people living with limitations. My research topics have included the development of new low-cost, high-quality assistive technologies; the study of the effects of assistive technologies on the occupational performance, functioning levels, and social participation of people with disabilities; and the provision models of assistive technologies according to a capability approach.

    My current research is devoted to investigating the use of assistive technologies to assess and promote cognitive skills and engagement in play in individuals with disabilities, mainly those with motor and cognitive impairment. I want to increase the understanding of how technology supports the health and wellness of individuals with disabilities through engagement in play.
