Barbara D'Entremont

Not considering graduate supervision for the 2027 intake.

My research interests encompass quality of life and well being, broadly defined, for autistic people of all ages. Within our research group, our research is informed by the social model of disability where we view autism through a neurodiversity-affirming lens.

Representative projects include predictors of quality of life for school-aged children and for adults, experiences of transitioning from high school, job satisfaction and employment experiences, self-compassion, understanding self-stigma, and sensory processing and sexuality.
