Paper

Submissions

Paper submissions are individual oral presentations, usually concerned with research, conceptual, historical, or methodological issues.

Research

Research presentations can describe a wide range of research including single subject design or group designs. Papers should be data-driven, empirical reports of new findings that have not been previously published. Please do not submit a literature review or a summary of published techniques. These are oral presentations of a single paper given in a 25 or 50-minute duration.

Practice Presentations

Practice presentations are 15 to 20-minute oral presentations detailing a specific practice issue or clinical case, typically reporting empirical research and providing education. Submissions that include a data attachment and work that is well advanced (or completed) will receive preference.
