- Children with disabilities. Children in need of lifelong follow-up are studied in a family- and child-centered perspective. The research aims at increasing children’s participation in decision making processes concerning habilitation
- Pain as a corporal/bodily experience, chronic pain management and somato-cognitive treatment
- Rehabilitation after traumatic brain injury (TBI) and multi-trauma, with focus on patients’ self-reported function, health and need for rehabilitation and their perspectives on service delivery
- Projects in the humanities and the social sciences are characterized by a wide range of subjects and perspectives on disability. Recent projects are about (1) conflicts and tensions in the field of rehabilitation, occupational health and user involvement, and (2) universal design, ethics and history of rehabilitation
