In addition to contributed abstracts, the forum invites special interest sessions. To propose such a session, the session organizer should check the "Special Interest Session" topic box and submit a session title and brief description of the proposed session for evaluation, together with the names of three to five speakers and abstract titles in the "Comments to Organizers" box of the first abstract submitted in the proposed session. Other abstracts submitted to be included in the proposed special session should also check the "Special Interest Session" topic box and include the proposed session title in the "Comments to Organizers" box. Sessions last 90 minutes.

Also in addition to standard scientific sessions, the Disability Study Group will meet on Sunday AM for more informal discussion of papers prepared and distributed in advance of the meeting. Individuals wishing to propose a paper for discussion at this session should select the "Disability Study Group" when submitting their abstract and indicate their rationale for wishing to participate in this session in the "Comments to Organizers".
