Brittany’s dissertation research focused on evaluating the experiences of parenting during the COVID-19 lockdown, specifically comparing those experiences of parents who had a child with a disability during this time and those who did not. Her research interests continue to focus on parent support and well-being of those who have children with disabilities and promoting positive parent-child interactions.
