    Before joining the Tizard Centre in 1995, Steve worked in a range of service provision for people with learning disabilities. His interest in the implementation of service ideology led to a comparative study of learning disability services in London and Milan, Italy and the evaluation of individual planning services for adults and for students leaving special school, particularly concerning the ways in which people using those services are involved in the planning process.

    Dr Jennifer Leigh
    Jennifer Leigh’s doctoral research was a phenomenological study on children’s perceptions, expressions and reflections of embodiment. She is an accredited Somatic Movement Therapist, a Qualified School Teacher and an experienced Yoga Instructor. She currently works as project manager on a study looking at Costs and Outcomes of Skilled Support for Individuals with Complex Needs. This has been funded by the National Institute for Health Research School of Social Care Research and aims to show whether quality of life outcomes are related to the level of skilled support an individual receives, or the costs of providing support. She is also research associate on the evaluation of ‘Imagining Autism’, an AHRC funded drama intervention for primary school children with autism. The Tizard Centre team, working with Dr David Wilkinson, in the School of Psychology, is evaluating the intervention which is building on a pilot study that demonstrated improvements in children’s imaginative and social play.
