The WSSA is a good place for informal discussion of the presentations and graduate students and junior faculty are particularly welcome because of their fresh perspective. Mentors of junior (or senior) faculty and graduate students are encouraged to come with them to offer papers. In addition, self- advocates, community advocates, providers, and government agency personnel (if not faculty members) are especially welcome to submit proposals.
Section Co-Chairs:
