Projects

Department Of Health

Working with Opinion Leaders to understand what it is like to live with autism

"There were a variety of case studies. We observed different families by living with them for 3 days. This basically helped give us an idea about the different aspects of their lives and what day-to-day events affected them. All research helped shape the services we then presented to the Department Of Health."

Derbyshire County

Evaluating end of life services with people with chronic illnesses

"We conducted a 3 month study of people with chronic illnesses and very sensitive needs. The extensive time we spent with them, really helped with gaining trust and creating a relax and honest atmosphere.We also heavily focused on the carers who took care of the chronically ill."

Per Our Conversation…

What makes a successful research study?

Getting an idea and strong sense of where the other person is coming from is key. Understanding the heart of who your person or group is invaluable.

Overall, this will help with understanding ethical differences and will help configure different codes of conduct.

Whats the best part of doing these type of research studies?

With every family we work with, we are always touched and inspired by their deep inner strength. We are blessed to be able to spend time with them and afterwards we try to stay in touch.

We are very passionate about working with people’s experiences and exploring each and every subtle detail!

How do you get those your observing to relax and open up?

By approaching each individual and project with a personal feel, you're able to get honest responses. Using own experiences to connect and relate is also very important.
