Research Interests
My research interests focus on Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), particularly in the areas of diagnosis and educational and behavioral interventions, with special attention to early intervention and its role in improving developmental outcomes for children. I am also interested in studying and developing evidence-based behavioral programs that enhance the quality and effectiveness of services provided to this population. In addition, my work includes the exploration of assistive technologies in special education, examining their effectiveness and applications in supporting learning and promoting independence for individuals with disabilities. I am also committed to inclusive education and the development of learning environments—both in schools and universities—that ensure equity and access for all students.
