In the Support for Lifelong Learning (SuLLe) research group, we produce new knowledge on how to support learning, participation, and well-being at different stages of the life course. Our research approach is multidisciplinary, with a particular emphasis on special education. The research is carried out using multi‑method approaches, drawing especially on qualitative and participatory methods.
Our research themes include, among others:
- Supporting the inclusion and interaction of autistic individuals in comprehensive education and working life
- Support for learning and well‑being in general upper secondary education, vocational education and training, and higher education
- Supporting the digital skills learning of adults with intellectual disabilities and older adults
