小児期高次脳機能障害に関わる就労や意思決定支援を主題に、発達期から成人期にかけての関係性の特徴とその影響を検討しています。当事者・家族・支援者が置かれた状況を多角的に捉え、人への敬意を基盤に、必要に応じ混合分析を用いながら現象の複雑さや多義性を理解する姿勢を重視しています。

My research focuses on employment and decision-making support for individuals with childhood-onset acquired brain injury (ABI), examining the characteristics of relationships across developmental stages into adulthood and their implications. I adopt a multifaceted approach to understanding the situations faced by individuals, families, and support providers, seeking to integrate insights from healthcare, education, and social services through an interdisciplinary approach. This informs my exploration of support structures and their potential. Grounded in respect for individuals, I prioritise understanding the complexity and ambiguity of lived phenomena, employing mixed-methods analysis when appropriate.
