My research interest is implementing and testing the impact of a theory-based intervention. This approach focuses on manipulation of personal, social and environmental factors as they relate to active engagement in leisure behaviors among people with special needs. Study population groups include individuals with special health care, refugee youth, people with disabilities, and their caregivers.
