Val’s main research interests focus on the
development of self-esteem in children with Additional Educational
Needs, with particular reference to those with Special Educational
Needs and Dual or Multiple Exceptionality, and the development and
management of inclusive practice in schools. She is currently
working on a collaborative TDA funded project, developing an
e-learning resource area to support the development of inclusive
practice on school experience and in schools.
Val is currently studying for a PhD; the focus
of this study is to develop new forms of pedagogical practice in
order to support the development of professional identity in ITE
students with learning disabilities, with particular reference to
transitions between contexts such as University and school
experience placements.
