The ASID 2013 Conference Committee looks forward to organising an intellectually stimulating conference program.

People with a disability are encouraged to present at the conference. The Committee is keen for all presentations to be interactive in order to foster the sharing of information, exchange of ideas and experiences, and opportunities to learn.
The Committee encourages submissions which address the
conference theme “Our Time”, as well as submissions which cover the following
stream themes:
- Health and
well-being
- Empowerment/rights/ethics

of life

behaviour, mental health and justice
