CEDAR has established a unique Education and Psychology MPhil/PhD programme. The first PhD students began in 2014. We are interested in hearing from people who are thinking of pursuing a PhD in areas of CEDAR’s expertise:

• Intellectual disability, autism, developmental disabilities
• Children and/or adults with developmental disabilities and/or special educational needs
• Families or carers of people with intellectual disabilities, autism, developmental disabilities, special educational needs
• Early intervention
• Children at risk of adverse developmental outcomes because of behaviour problems or communication difficulties
• Service delivery and development for the above, e.g. reconfiguring services
• Ethical dilemmas of professionals

We have expertise in mixed methods; evaluation methods; secondary data analyses of big data.
