some clinicians as well as more recent innovations will be reviewed. This will be followed by a workshop on the use of FEES in the evaluation and treatment of dysphagia, a topic expected to be highly valued by dysphagia clinicians. Additionally, Dr Langmore will conduct a Pre-Conference best-practice Masterclass examining how to predict and prevent aspiration pneumonia in patients with stroke. This Masterclass is a must for clinicians working in the area of dysphagia. Associate Professor Jacinta Douglas, invited presenter of the 2014 Elizabeth Usher Memorial Lecture, will discuss therapeutic practice within the context of one’s self-concept and social connection. In particular, Associate Professor Douglas will present a framework developed from her research that highlights the necessity of clinicians to clearly understand the perspective of the client and their significant others, as well as the importance of effective, evidence-based interventions to maintain a client’s social connections. This presentation is highly anticipated as the framework is applicable to all populations that speech pathologists engage with and thus will provide many discussion points for all delegates. Please visit the 2014 National Conference webpage for more detailed profiles of our Keynote and Invited speakers and their abstracts, together with all other information relevant to the Conference.
