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.
Education & Supervision (ES) Track
Sessions that present information on updates in art therapy training and education and the latest teaching methods. Or focus on supervision techniques, and educational developments.
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.
Please note the program is still in formation!
