ASHA to Meet in New Orleans



Focusing on language, communication, and swallowing and feeding disorders in children, Elizabeth Lowery treats patients at the Little You clinic in Chicago. To keep abreast of her field, Elizabeth Lowery is a member of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA). Founded in 1925, ASHA sets practice standards, advances research, and advocates for its 223,000 members. Its membership includes speech and language pathologists, audiologists, researchers, and students.

ASHA will present its annual meeting in the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans November 17-19, 2022. Learning events will be presented in person or both online and in person. The convention comprises several educational formats. The longest and most complex type of presentation will be the master classes; for two hours, invited experts will tackle advanced topics, offering evidence-based data. Master classes will meet only in person.

The remaining formats will be in-person or pre-recorded for virtual access. Shorter than the master classes but also intensive are the one-hour oral seminars on clinical and research concepts. Thirty-minute technical sessions will highlight research or demonstrate new applications and methods. Finally, 15-minute poster sessions allow presenters to convey their findings and answer questions. Registration for the 2022 convention opens in August.
