Overview Dr Whitworth is a researcher, clinician, and educator in the field of speech pathology and acquired neurological impairments, in particular, aphasia. Her interests are in increasing understanding of how language and communication breakdown following neurological insult, developing and evaluating theoretically sound assessments and interventions in aphasia, and both facilitating and measuring the real life impact of therapy for people with communication impairments. A particular area of interest is in working with people who have sentence processing difficulties. Dr Whitworth has developed a number of assessments and therapy protocols that are used widely by therapists, including a comprehensive battery of assessments for Japanese speakers with aphasia, in collaboration with colleagues in the UK and in Tokyo. She has co-written a popular textbook for aphasia and has recently published a set of resources for use by speech pathologists (http://research.ncl. ac.uk/aphasia/resources.html). Exploring narrative as an intervention in aphasia is a recent area of interest that she has developed during a two year research fellowship with the UK <strong>Health</strong> Foundation.
