The
ISAAC Preconference Workshops are an independent part of the ISAAC
Biennial Conference, and precede the main conference. The workshops
will be held in Montreal, on August 2 and 3, 2008.
The aim of the Preconference Workshops is to provide in-depth
instruction for current issues in the field of AAC. Participants have
the opportunity to learn more about these specialized areas by
attending full- or half-day instructional courses presented by leaders
in the field of AAC. Four full-day courses will be offered, as well as
four half-day courses. Lunch will be provided.
The possibility of offering French-language translation for one course on each day is being explored.
