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.
Clinical Approaches
Sessions that present information on therapeutic best practices, case studies, and art therapy techniques and methods. Includes Addictions/Substance Abuse (AS), Child/Adolescents (CA), Forensics (FS), Geriatrics (GE), Medical Settings (MS), Psychiatric Settings (PS), and School Settings (SS).
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.
