Simposium Summary
Short CV
Professor of Developmental and Educational Psychology at the University of Valencia. In the course of his already extensive teaching experience, he has taught in numerous disciplines of the Psychology degree and in particular, in recent years, within the area of Developmental and Educational Psychology, progressively becoming specialized in Intervention in Autism Spectrum Disorders.
He is the author of many specialized books on this subject and numerous research articles. He has participated as a researcher and as a PI in numerous national and international research projects. In 1994 he created the Access Research Unit of the University of Valencia (http://acceso.uv.es), in which, within the framework of a European project (UNICHANCE), different methodologies were experimented with and the Support Service for Students with Disabilities was created, managing it from then until 2008 with the Rector's Delegate for the Integration of People with Disabilities.
In this area, he is the author of books and articles on the inclusion of students with disabilities in higher education. He has been very involved in the development of accessibility measures and design for all the learning environments, particularly, the technology-assisted learning environments. In 2006 he presented a project for the creation of the University Centre for Diagnosis and Early Care (http://cudap.uv.es), which he has directed until June 2018. In this area, he has also published books and guides for parents on different disorders (Autism Spectrum Disorders; Childhood Cerebral Paralysis, etc.). Currently, although he continues to publish in all the above fields, his interests are focused on the development of family relationships when a child with an Autism Spectrum Disorder is present.
