(Deadline: 03/09/2024 by 4:00 PM)
The practice strand of the conference offers clinicians the opportunity to talk about how they work with people with aphasia. The strand will focus on presenting rationales for intervention, describing therapy techniques and measuring impact. We are keen to encourage current clinicians to present their practice, with mentoring support available for presenters, if they would like it.
The final strand, future directions, will allow both researchers and clinicians to present their thoughts or research about what aspects of aphasia management might be relevant in the future and provide information to inform our future practice.
The in-person/online costs of the conference are:
-
Conference attendance fees: 1 day £100, 2 days £180.00 and 3 days £260.00
-
Online or student attendance: 1 day £80.00, 2 days £155.00 and 3 days £230.00
