The conference is organized into nine main subject tracks to help participants find areas of interest. During the proposal submission process, each proposal submitter selected one category to best describe their session. AATA uses these categories for the final Program Guide.
Contemporary Issues/Current Trends
Sessions that present information in Activism (AC), Grief/Mourning (GM), Autism (AU), Professional Practice (PP), Trauma (TR), and Ethics (ET).
Advanced Practice Courses and Workshops have limited seats and require additional registration and fees. All other sessions (e.g. panels, papers, performances, and videos) are included as part of conference registration and do not need additional registration.
