Accessibility at AASP 2024
AASP is committed to ensuring that our event is as accessible as possible for all attendees. We strive to provide a variety of accommodations for individuals with disabilities or other accessibility needs. Space was provided on the conference registration form for attendees to share accommodation needs. AASP cannot guarantee requests made onsite.

Presentations
This year, AASP is communicating with all our presenters and providing guidelines to help make individual presentations more accessible and inclusive.

Poster presenters will also receive specific recommendations regarding font-size guidelines, colors, etc.
