I work as a University Teacher in Early Childhood Education Teacher training. I am also a Ph.D. student and I am currently working on my doctoral thesis. My research focuses on the participation and peer relationships of children with special educational needs in early childhood education. The aim of my research is to find out effective ways to support inclusion in ECE and the belonging of each child.
