Research and Development

Over the years I have been involved in a range of research projects, published and unpublished

My interest in research is to ensure the outcomes of research are effectively disseminated to the broadest possible communities, and moreover that the outcomes transfer into products and services that have impact upon the lives of people with a disability

We bring a breadth of research skills to each and every project we undertake including:-

  • Desk based research into trends with detailed analysis of data
  • Accessible Surveys
  • Focus Groups
  • Interviews
  • User testing 

This experience has been utilized in a series of projects on behalf of NGO's, public bodies and private companies and informs our presentations at confernecs and events across the world. We seek to collaborate in research to help bring solutions and services to the market.
