My research explores the potential of virtual reality (VR) to improve the lives of neurodiverse individuals. I am currently researching and developing co-designed prototypes of VR sensory rooms that could have the potential to provide autistic individuals with a portable, customizable, and person-centered solution to sensory processing challenges. Additionally, I am investigating the application of VR in training and learning within the care sector, focusing on the development and evaluation of VR-based de-escalation training programs to better prepare care professionals for challenging situations.
