School of Education Research Staff Profile

Tunde Rozsahegyi

Developmental work and research activity

Tunde’s research interests have focused particularly around development and learning support of children with physical disabilities in different educational settings.

This interest has been sustained from her previous experience working with children and their families with cerebral palsy in conductive education, her teaching on the BA (Hons) in Conductive Education and her role as a trainer for professionals and practitioners working in inclusive educational settings with children with physical disabilities. Tunde is currently a PhD student at Warwick University - her research explores pedagogical responses to the learning and development needs of young children with cerebral palsy.
