Marika Mäkinen

I work as a Specialist Services Coordinator at Spesia's Expert Services. My responsibilities include training, consultation, and professional supervision, as well as RDI (Research, Development, and Innovation) activities at Spesia. I have a long background as a special education teacher working in demanding special support, particularly with individuals on the autism spectrum. My particular area of interest is supporting the inclusion and well-being of people on the autism spectrum. I am currently preparing a doctoral dissertation on the employment of individuals on the autism spectrum who require extensive support.
