The scientific material and techniques presented at this meeting reflect the views of the presenters and have been made available by the Association “as is” for educational and informational purposes only and not as professional advice for specific cases or circumstances. The material and techniques discussed in these presentations reflect the science at the time of their development and should be used with the clear understanding that continued research may result in new knowledge or recommendations.

Participants need to be aware of the potential risks of using limited knowledge when integrating techniques and procedures that are new to them into their practices, particularly if the program has not included supervised clinical experience to ensure that participants have attained competence.
