Join us for the Fifth Biannual ICCD Conference to present your latest research and hear what your colleagues are doing in the management of cognitive-communication disorders after brain injury. The emphasis of this conference is on the cognitive-communication and social communication disorders after traumatic brain injury, right hemisphere stroke, long COVID and other acquired brain disorders with a focus on how research can be translated into practice and how clinical experiences can inform research.
This hybrid conference provides the opportunity for researchers and clinicians to learn through in-person and online peer-reviewed presentations, panel presentations, and extensive discussion.
Conference presenters are encouraged to submit a manuscript from their presentation for publication in the American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology (AJSLP) as a special issue.
