Notes from the National Research Committee Report

The Research Poster Session will have a new look this year.  For the 2008 National Conference in St. Louis, Missouri, poster boards will be provided. In this new format, each individual has the opportunity to develop her/his research poster via computer and bring the rolled-up poster to the conference much like a calendar to be pinned to the display board.  Or a researcher may develop the poster using regular 8 ½ x 11 paper(s) and bring them to the conference. Our exhibit contractor will supply 4' x 8' - two sided poster display boards, more as needed.  Posters can be attached with regular push pins.

In St. Louis, the National Research Committee will be sponsoring three sessions, all of which will emphasize evidence-based research. Dr. Eric Waldon will provide a session on measurement, Dr. Jane Cassidy and Dr. Jayne Standley will present continuing research with music and premature infants, and Dr. Dena Register will be presenting on her continuing work using music for reading instruction.
