Todd and Asakura have been dedicated to finding more effective ways to prepare their students for the field of social work. This has ranged from bringing actors into the classroom to pose as clients to developing an interactive computer program that enables students to practice their counselling skills.
Most recently, they received a Canada Foundation for Innovation grant to support the development of integrative simulation-based research on social work education and practice.
