Biography
Associate Professor Christine Johnston convenes the Special Education Programs within the School of Education. She teaches primarily in the areas of early childhood intervention and evidence-based practice. She has a proven record as a project co-ordinator and extensive experience in the use of multi-method approaches and the ecocultural paradigm as a research tool. A strong thread throughout her research program is that of linking research to practice. This was notably the case in the ARC Vision and Living Skills (VaLS) Project in partnership with Royal Blind Society. The project combined both a strong theoretical base and a concern for practical applications and intervention. The project culminated in the production of a training package for parents and professionals which has been translated into four European languages. She is currently involved in a multidisciplinary ARC study entitled Diabetes Research on Adolescent Transitions (the DRAT! Project) which is exploring the psychosocial factors which affect self-management in young people with Type 1 diabetes. Christine maintains a strong involvement in the early childhood intervention field both nationally and internationally through her teaching, her work with professional groups and her research.
