I worked with Alfiya Battalova as an evaluation consultant at the Canadian Association of Midwives on a complex three-year family violence prevention project, delivered in partnership with the National Council of Indigenous Midwives, universities, and sector leaders. The evaluation used an impact framework and a trauma-informed approach. Her ability to align evaluation approaches with project goals and organizational realities made her work both practical and impactful. Alfiya was a pleasure to work with, and I would highly recommend collaborating with her.

I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with Dr. Batttalova (or Alfiya) on multiple projects examining accessibility, inclusion, and belonging for Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and DeafBlind students in post-secondary education. Her expertise in disability and inclusion, paired with her collaborative and thoughtful approach, ensures that research is both rigorous and grounded in lived experience. She is a trusted partner and a true leader in advancing equitable education.
