My research focuses on developmental disabilities, such as autism, developmental coordination disorder, and ADHD. I examine the relationship between visual attention of adolescents and adults on the autistic spectrum or with ADHD and their daily functioning, such as social abilities and everyday skills. The aims are to enhance these abilities in order to promote integration of people with ASD and ADHD into the community. In my lab, different technologies are being used which are based on sociocognitive models
