Presentation
I am a researcher at Kela’s Research Unit. I coordinate the project Muutos III, which examines the changes and reforms in Kela's rehabilitation. I am a leading researcher in the project Omakuntoutus Kelan järjestämissä kuntoutuspalveluissa, which examines the impact and role of self-rehabilitation in rehabilitation services. My research interests include, in particular, rehabilitation and recovery in everyday environments as well as assessing and supporting inclusion, functioning, and work ability.
