AphasiaAccess Leadership Summit Proposal Guidelines (Due Oct. 1)


The AphasiaAccess Leadership Summit gathers professionals in the trenches of helping people with aphasia navigate life. Attendees are people who are charged with making environments more communication accessible, running hospital-, community- and university-based programs for people with aphasia, creating innovative products, teaching the next generation, and/or working on research. Presentations should illustrate sound ideas, implementation and impact according to the Life Participation Approach to Aphasia.

An overview of the submission process is below. Full details about the call are available on AphasiaAccess' online submission portal. If you have questions about the submission process, please email [email protected] and your inquiry will be forwarded to a member of the program committee.
