The Symposium on Research in Child Language Disorders (SRCLD) invites you to submit your recent research for presentation at our 28th meeting to be held in Madison, June 5-7, 2008. This meeting is sponsored by the Department of Communicative Disorders, University of Wisconsin-Madison and the National Institute of Deafness and other Communication Disorders, the National Institute on Child Health and Human Development, and the National Institutes of Health. The symposium continues to expand the scope of work presented, particularily in the areas of cross-linguistic research, bilingual language development, and the language and communication skills of children with developmental disabilities.

The setting will once again be the Frank Lloyd Wright designed Monona Convention Center in Madison, on the shore of Lake Monona. This meeting will provide an exciting opportunity to share your research and discuss new research opportunities with colleagues from around the world. Traditionally this meeting has been a forum for high quality research, fostering research development through NIH supported student travel awards.
Submissions will be accepted until
February 1, 2008.
General Guidelines
  • Data-based poster presentations addressing language disorders in children and other related topics are being solicited.
  • Only completed research that has not been previously presented or published should be submitted.
  • All submissions will be reviewed blindly by the program committee.
  • A maximum of two submissions per first author will be accepted.
  • Submitted papers will be presented in poster format only.
Papers on any aspect of language and cognitive performance in all languages will be considered. Individual case studies, longitudinal research and language intervention research are of particular interest. 
Specific Submission Guidelines
Submissions will be web-based and require identifying information, an abstract and a summary. You can prepare the identifying information and abstract on your word processor and cut and paste it into the submission forms or you can enter it directly. Please keep in mind, if your submission is accepted, the identifying information and abstract will be published on the web and in the conference program as is. You will not have the opportunity to make changes and we will not edit your submission.

The following three forms must be completed for your submission to be accepted:

1) Identifying Information
Include the following information:
  • Presentation title - as you would like it to appear in the conference program
  • Names of all authors with affiliations - please submit with correct spelling
  • Contact person
  • Contact's address
  • Contact's telephone and fax numbers
  • Contact's email address
All communication with the Program Committee will be through the designated contact person.

2) The Abstract

170 word single-spaced abstract which consists of a concise summary of the poster presentation (rationale, methods, results, and conclusions).

If your submission is accepted this abstract will be published, as is, on the SRCLD web site and printed in the conference program. We will not edit your abstract and you will not have the opportunity to make changes. Do not exceed 170 words.

3) The Summary

The summary should include the rationale, subjects, methods, analysis, results and discussion. Do not exceed 600 words (approximately 2 pages double-spaced using 12-point type). Include the title at the top of the summary. To facilitate blind review do not include the author name(s) or affiliations.

Your summary will be examined by reviewers to judge the quality of the research. Please make sure it is clearly written and anonymous.
An email will be sent to the designated contact person indicating that the submission was received.
