Scientific Paper Platforms & Posters
The RESNA Scientific Paper Program brings peer-reviewed research, applied innovation, and public policy analysis to the Abilities International Accessibility Conference. These sessions highlight emerging evidence, practical solutions, and forward-thinking strategies shaping the future of assistive technology and rehabilitation engineering.
At select conferences, attendees can engage with both the RESNA Scientific Paper Platform (a CEU session) and interactive Scientific Paper Posters presented in the networking zone.

Scientific Posters
This format creates a dynamic space for sharing cutting-edge research, real-world practice insights, and public policy developments shaping assistive technology and rehabilitation engineering. Posters provide an engaging opportunity to explore findings, ask questions directly to presenters, and connect research themes to clinical, commercial, and policy outcomes.
Paper categories include Research, Practice, and Public Policy. Featured presenters and posters include:
