Lectures are informative and educational sessions led by experts, scholars, and professionals in the field of learning disabilities. These presentations offer a structured and in-depth exploration of critical topics related to learning disabilities, providing attendees with valuable insights, research findings, and evidence-based strategies. During these lectures, participants have the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the latest developments in the field, learn about best practices in education, advocacy, and support for individuals with learning disabilities, and engage with leading experts who share their knowledge and expertise. Our conference attendees are looking for lecture sessions that will translate research to practice. Presenters are strongly encouraged to conclude their sessions with recommendations and strategies that attendees can apply to their educational or professional practice.

Panel sessions are interactive discussions led by a group of experts on a topic relevant to individuals with learning disabilities or to the parents, educators and professionals who support them. Panels will offer diverse perspectives and insights to conference attendees. They are a dynamic format that encourages dialogue and exploration of complex issues, aiming to inspire action or provide valuable knowledge which can inform practice.

A mini session is a short, focused presentation, typically 15-20 minutes long, highlighting a new idea or offering a practical takeaway. It’s designed to be a quick, engaging experience with an opportunity for audience interaction. Mini sessions on like topics will be grouped in one room during a one-hour block.

A poster session is an interactive platform where researchers, educators, and advocates come together to showcase their innovative work and insights related to learning disabilities. Participants present their findings, strategies, and solutions on visually engaging posters that provide a concise overview of their research or educational projects. These sessions encourage meaningful discussions, networking, and knowledge exchange among attendees.
