Guide Lines for Submission Papers: 

Individuals who wish to participate in the 3rd Annual International Conference on Disability & Rehabilitation: Research & Disability are invited to submit abstract(s) to the Conference Scientific Committee. The abstract(s) must be received by October 15, 2008. Although all papers will be considered, priority will be given to abstracts which address the conference theme. This specifically centers on the following:

*    IMPORTANCE OF RESEARCH: Local, regional, and international perspectives on the importance of scientific research as a foundation for development in the area of disability and rehabilitation. 
*    A RESEARCH CULTURE: cultivating and promoting a research culture in the areas of disability prevention, habilitation, and rehabilitation. 
*    ALLIANCES: Promoting a deeper understanding of the importance of local, regional, and international collaborations and partnerships in the area of disability research. 

Modes of Presentation

Delegates can present their research in several different formats. These include:

Symposia (1 hour - 3 x 15 minute presentations, plus 15 minutes discussion)

A collection of 3 papers presenting the results of different programs/studies/experiences relating to a common research theme. Each should be presented by a different person. The symposium coordinator should provide details for the three papers following the instructions below.

Individual Papers (15 minute presentation, plus 5 minutes discussion)

A paper presenting the results of a program/study/experience on a particular topic. Papers will be grouped into symposia according to an identified theme. Individuals should submit title and abstract details for each paper offered following the instructions below.

Roundtable Discussions or Debates (1 hour)

Discussion about the interpretation of existing research, the state of knowledge in a particular area or the need for more or different kinds of research/programming/policies, can be as important as presenting the results of new studies. Individuals wishing to organize such roundtable discussions or debates should identify three or four speakers, who can each present a point of view. Where discussion and audience participation is the purpose, speakers' presentations might be limited to 5 minutes. Where debate between the speakers is the purpose, presentations may be longer (10 minutes). Organizers should submit the details of the discussion or debate following the instructions below. 

Workshop (1day/2day/or 3 day)                                                                                        
Workshops are intended to provide an in-depth review of a topic of interest, designed to be immediately useful to attendees. To this end, workshop presenters should plan to provide participants with a set of handouts outlining the material covered in the workshop.
