I work as PhD-student at the Research Institute of Child Development and Education (RICDE) of the University of Amsterdam. In my PhD, I hope to co-develop an intervention for expectant parents with mild to borderline intellectual disabilities and multiple and complex problems around pregnancy to ensure a safe environment for the newborn child. Afterward, I hope to examine the intervention on its effectiveness.
In addition, I teach master students Child Development and Education in diagnostics (Diagnostiek naar Behandeling 2) and I supervise their master thesis.
Safe Start: examine the needs for support in expectant parents with intellectual disabilities and multiple and complex problems, and further develop Safe Start and examine its effects.
Legal possibilities to protect unborn children: examine whether and how unborn babies are protected by laws and regulations in Western Countries, and how these rights relate to the pregnant woman’s rights.
