Do you have an interesting, atypical, or particularly complex case that you would like to share?

The AAWC invites you to submit a case for consideration to be presented on a webinar, in our newsletter, or on social media! This is a premium opportunity to display your intriguing cases and concepts.

Please submit a concise summary of your case in 150-250 words, including outcomes and practice implications to: [email protected]

If your case is chosen for use, we will be in touch to request a short (5-10 slides with photographs on a provided AAWC template) slide deck summarizing your case. We will also set up a time to record you presenting your case (we can help if needed!).

We can learn from many cases - please reach out with any questions and we are happy to guide you!
