Shauna Doherty is a 2nd year student on the Professional Doctorate in Educational and Child Psychology (DECPsy) at Mary Immaculate College, Limerick. Shauna is conducting a research study entitled ‘Supporting Autistic Girls in the Education System: A Grounded Theory Study’. The purpose of this study is to understand the experiences of autistic girls in the post-primary school context and to explore the supports they identify as important in enabling them to be in school and to thrive in school. This research aims to develop a theory grounded in the information collected from participants which will inform how school staff, school leaders and psychologists support autistic girls within the school context.
Shauna is seeking to form a Research Advisory Group for this research project and is seeking to recruit autistic researchers or autistic individuals with experience of research to be part of her Research Advisory Group.
