This symposium highlights the dissemination of two evidence-based protocols used to assess and treat spatial neglect post neurological event. The Health Promotion Research Center framework was used to guide how the dissemination was completed, which includes how the researchers disseminated the resources, the approach used, fixed elements versus organizational practices and individual barriers (in regards to readiness, adoption, implementation and maintenance). This symposium will also include discussions on how to measure “successful dissemination”, applied to this project.

Learning Objectives:

• Describe the health promotion research center dissemination framework
• Describe the dissemination approach used to disseminate the evidence-based practice protocols
• Describe the user organization, including the barriers and facilitators of implementing the strategies
• Describe how the measure of success was defined
