Dear ANCDS Members,
What do Krakow, Florence, Edinburgh, Zurich, Aalborg, Sheffield, Slovenia, Montreal, and Boston all have in common? They’ve all hosted the biennial International Aphasia Rehabilitation Conference (IARC) at some point in its esteemed 38-year history. Philadelphia now joins this storied group of locations. It may never be the same given the #RockingAphasia campaign, but more on that later.
ANCDS is pleased to announce a new benefit of membership! ANCDS will now accept requests to post members’ research study recruitment on verified social media accounts (i.e., ANCDS, @TheANCDS, and official.ancds). This benefit will apply to social media platforms only. Recruitment information will not be listed on the ANCDS website or in the newsletter.

The ANCDS Student Fellowship Program was developed in 2011. Start-up funds for the original awards were contributed by Dr. Lawrence Shriberg, keynote speaker for the 2010 ANCDS Annual Scientific Meeting, who donated his honorarium back to the ANCDS. Funds to sustain the program continue to be provided by the ANCDS Executive Board and through donations from ANCDS members.
