Professor Kehayia's research program spans two main streams of local, national and international activities and funding. The first stream, in the area of psycholinguistics/neurolinguistics, focuses on the study of the architecture of the Mental Lexicon in unilingual, bilingual and multilingual adults, healthy aging and individuals with language limitations due to acquired neurological conditions. The second stream of research addresses health and well-being, accessibility, inclusion and participation of persons living with physical disabilities. Using a Living Lab approach, in collaboration with European Living Labs and the European network of Living Labs, for the past 15 years, she has been conducting and fostering interdisciplinary and intersectoral projects in the community, in everyday lived spaces, leisure environments, including museums. Her recently published, co-edited book , provides a collection of views on accessibility and inclusion in museum environments in Europe and Canada.
