Ifigeneia Manitsa, a Psychology Researcher and Seminar Leader at Kingston University is undertaking research focused on the social and academic inclusion of adolescents with and without visual impairments. She is also co-operating with Sight for Surrey in order to evaluate the role that rehabilitation services play in the lives of children and adolescents with VI (this particular project has received funding from the National Lottery Fund and Sight for Surrey). She has been published twice in the British Journal of Visual Impairment and she is also a peer reviewer of this journal. She has received many grants for her research and academic merit.
Ifigeneia is currently conducting two studies focused on the social relationships that adolescents with and without visual impairments develop in the school environment and on their school engagement. She is looking for adolescents aged 12-14 years (14 years and 11 months to be accurate!) to take part in this research project. She is more than happy to visit schools, but she can also conduct interviews via Skype/Zoom if schools do not allow any external visitors.
