Dr Devon Ramey

School of Social Sciences, Education and Social Work

Dr Ramey’s research to date has focused on improving the quality of services and quality of life of autistic individuals. She is particularly interested in how overt indicators of mood can be evaluated as quality of life measures during child-centred approaches that encourage self-determination.

Along with her colleague from Dublin City University, Dr Ramey was awarded seed funding from the Standing Conference on Teacher Education, North and South (SCoTENS). By using inclusive participatory methods, the research team hopes to improve educational services for the autistic community in Ireland by centring autistic voices.
