Arjen van Assen

What is your role within the Academic Collaborative Centre related to people with PIMD?
My research focusses on methods and data-analysis for the assessment of development in people with PIMD. I am primarily focused on the analysis and modelling of the development of young children with PIMD. Furthermore, I work as an assistant professor focused on child and family welfare services for families with complex and multiple problems.

What do you hope to achieve?
My aim is to use thorough analysis to gain a better insight into the development of children with PIMD, so that the support provided by professionals and families can be more closely tailored to these children’s needs. I hope that my contribution to the work of the Academic Collaborative Centre related to people with PIMD will help improve the support given to people with PIMD.
