We invite you to participate in a PDW session that addresses how to write implications for practice in academic articles that truly inform practitioners. Some skilled practitioners will describe what they find helpful in particular implications for practice sections that have been published in articles in the Journal of Applied Behavioral Science. Then participants, working in small groups, will take some already published implications for practice in individual JABS articles and discuss what might make them more practitioner-friendly. One end product of the session may be a draft set of guidelines that JABS (or other journals) may publish in its instructions for authors. Another end product may be greater skill on the part of participants in writing implications for practice.
The PDW is cosponsored by ODC, PTC, MED, and MC, and will take place on Saturday, August 13, from 10:15AM - 12:15PM at the Grand Hyatt in Texas Ballroom D.
