Poster Session

The annual AAC Institute’s Symposium on Evidence-Based Practice offers an excellent public forum for presenting clinical/educational research, case studies, and systematic reviews of the evidence on this year’s topic of Language, Literacy, and AAC. In its 6th year, this is the Symposium’s first Call for Posters by popular request. The Poster session at the Symposium is intended to encourage participants to address contemporary issues related to the current topic with practical, evidence-based solutions. Any stakeholder may submit a poster proposal that reflects applying external (research-based) evidence, internal (clinical-based) evidence and/or personal evidence related to language, literacy and AAC.

The deadline for Poster proposals is April 1, 2008. Submission of a poster proposal indicates your intention to attend the symposium. By submitting a poster to the symposium, the authors commit that, if the paper is accepted, at least the first author will attend the symposium. Notification of acceptance will be sent by April 15, 2008.
