Clinical Orthopedagogy Unit

Focused on the psychological and pedagogical aspects of disability and ageing, the Clinical Orthopedagogy Unit takes a particular interest in individuals with intellectual disabilities, autism spectrum disorder, attention disorders, and an ordinary or pathological ageing.

The main research themes are:

support for people with disabilities and/or autism spectrum disorder,
relationships with parents,
academic integration,
personalised care and support plans,
quality of life and services,
self-determination.

In addition, the Unit forms part of a perspective of social gerontology and is particularly interested in the process of successful ageing, active ageing and intergenerational dynamics.
