Steven is an Associate Professor at (University College London). His current work includes the development of a new therapy programme, in partnership with SLTs, neurologists and families living with MND, to support better conversations for people with motor neurone disease and other neurodegenerative disorders.
Steven graduated as a speech and language therapist in 1991. Following 12 years of clinical practice in adult community settings, and an interest in conversation analysis (CA), he completed a PhD at UCL, investigating the everyday interactions of people with dysarthria arising from motor neurone disease (MND). His post-doctoral fellowship work widened the application of CA to people with acquired dysarthria with an emphasis on how CA principles might inform clinical assessment and intervention.
