Evidence-based Practice in Disability Disciplines ConferenceOral Presentation Proposal Form

Note: The aim of the oral presentations is to outline the best available evidence as it relates to a featured practice; therefore, we expect a portion of every presentation to include findings from research studies and how those findings can be integrated with practitioner-specific and client-specific factors to make effective decisions. For that reason, the submission form (below) also outlines the suggested format for your presentation. If your content would be appropriate for more than one 50-minute oral presentation, please indicate that in your abstract.
