Session Presentations/Copies of Paper presentations
Speakers will be encouraged to have written papers available to individuals requiring additional hearing accommodations. Due to privacy concerns, we cannot guarantee all speakers will have papers available for reading, but everyone will be encouraged to accommodate such requests.
