Dear Colleague:

This mailing includes the Call for Papers for the 45th Annual Meeting of the Academy of Aphasia. The Academy of Aphasia welcomes submissions of original experimental, clinical, theoretical and historical research from any field that contributes to the study of aphasia, including Speech-Language Pathology, Psychology, Neurology, Neuroscience, Neuroimaging, Linguistics, History and Computational Modeling.  The Academy of Aphasia encourages submissions for platform papers, poster presentations, proposals for symposia that bring together researchers from different laboratories reporting on a common research theme, and mini-workshops with a methodological emphasis in which a unique approach to a timely topic may be presented by a single research group.  Submissions are accepted from both members and non-members of the Academy of Aphasia and all submissions are given equal consideration.

You will find enclosed the General Guidelines for Submission for the electronic submission of abstracts as well as a copy of the Abstract Information Sheet that should accompany your submission. A separate information sheet must accompany each abstract and must be received by 12:00 noon Central Daylight Time (CDT) on Monday April 2nd, 2007. All of these forms are also available on the Academy web site (http://www.academyofaphasia.org). Although it is discouraged, you may bypass electronic submission and mail a .CD Rom with 8 hard copies of your abstract to:

Academy Of Aphasia

Frances Laven, Director

PO Box 26532

Minneapolis MN 55426, USA

This too must be received by 12 noon CDT on Monday April 2, 2007. Due to abstract publication requirements, there will be no exceptions to this submission deadline. The Program Committee will notify you of its decision by e-mail; therefore, your e-mail address must accompany each submission.

Sincerely,

The Program Committee
