Om mig

Wissam Mounzer, universitetslektor i specialpedagogik, har en bakgrund som psykolog och specialpedagog med intresse för tillämpad beteendeanalys och fokus på lärande och utveckling av barn med autism och NPF. Hans forskningsfokus riktas främst mot barn med autism och deras familjer. Framför allt är han intresserad av att implementera inriktade insatser som har sin grund i tillämpad beteendeanalys, vilka främjar lärande och utveckling av barn med särskilda behov. Han studerar också olika aspekter av kulturkompetens hos service providers. Dessutom driver han och ger veckovis handledning via Skype till två privata skolor i Syrien för barn i behov av särskilt stöd, med autism och/NPF-diagnos. Dessa kallas: Future Center for Children with Special Needs.

År 2014 disputerade Wissam vid Damaskus universitet i Syrien med avhandlingen: Behavioral Training Program Efficiency with Mothers Participating for Reducing the Behavioral Problems at Sample of Children Infected by Autism. Syftet med avhandlingen var att undersöka effektiviteten av ett interventionsprogram grundat på vissa tillämpade beteendeanalysmetoder kombinerat med medverkan av dessa barns föräldrar (i detta fall mödrar) för att minska vissa beteendeproblem hos barnen (3-5 gammal) som hade diagnoserats med autism.
