Detailed Proposal Description

Carefully organize your (450 max word count)  PDF file. Use clear, concise language to describe exactly what you will be presenting.

  • Begin with a brief introductory paragraph that provides an overview of your topic.
  • Describe the theory, concept, or research basis of your topic
  • Your proposal does not need to be a formal research study and, ideally should be oriented for practitioners and/or caregivers.
  • If it is a practitioner and/or caregiver-focused, the topic should be one that is based on sound theory or has been tested by others and not just a “good idea”.
  • Describe exactly what you will be presenting including how you will be presenting it.
  • Explain the impact your proposal has on the field and how it is aligned with the MSLBD mission
  • Remember, if your proposal’s focus is to showcase a product (e.g., materials, books, videos, or consultation services) for sale, you should not submit a proposal through the peer-reviewed process. Instead, you will want to complete an application to become an exhibitor.
Attach PDF file. One page max. Please include session title.
