Svitlana Stremousova MS, MBA

I am a PhD candidate at the USC Chan Division of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy under the mentorship of Dr. Mary Lawlor. In my present role, I support research projects examining current understandings of the sensory processing difficulties of autistic individuals across the lifespan and manage uncertainty in the lives of autistic children, families, and clinicians during the COVID-19 pandemic.

My research interests relate to dog companionship and community participation of autistic adults. I am specifically interested in applying qualitative research methodologies, both textual and visual, to inform researchers, clinicians, families, and community members about first-person experiences of autistic people. If you have any questions about my research interests, please feel free to contact me at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
