Area of research

Disabilities and Ageing.

Psychology Research Interests

My research interests are primarily in the areas of ageing and aged care. My particular interests are in the specific areas of decision making, control, quality of life and satisfaction of older people living in Residential Aged Care Facilities. Other interests include the assessment and training of driving skills in older people and the management of people with disabilities.
