What is your role within the Academic Workplace PIMD?
As a postdoc researcher, I contribute to ongoing research within the academic workplace, based on my expertise in research into the development of young children with PIMD. My main interest is the context surrounding the child. I work part-time for KU Leuven (Belgium), where I am a member of the INOVHO research team within the Parenting and Special Education research unit and coordinator of the Magenta project that is committed to parents of children with additional care needs.

What do you want to achieve?
Parents of children with PIMD have to take on different roles in their daily lives: parent, caregiver, doctor, advocate, administrative manager and so on. I would like to contribute to supporting parents in their parental role and creating the preconditions so that they can focus on the essence: loving their child.
