This video is part of the NSDA 2020 Virtual Symposium playlist. Originally scheduled to take place in the Detroit area on May 2, 2020, the in-person meeting was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic and migrated online. These presentations were filmed using the Zoom platform and often at the presenter’s home. Please excuse any lags or skips in the presentation due to an unstable internet connection during the broadcast. Special thanks to our speakers for their time and dedication to the NSDA community.
