Information for Presenters
We encourage breakout and poster presentation proposals on a wide array of topics related to children and youth with behavioral or mental health needs. Proposals should:
- Demonstrate how the proposed session is based on research-based practices, preferably beyond the basic/introductory level;
- Identify the target audience;
- Identify the level of content- beginner, intermediate or advanced;
- List outcomes for participants with an emphasis on practical application.
Sessions for BCBA CEUs
If you or a co-presenter is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), please consider offering your breakout session for BCBA CEUs. Sessions that offer BCBA CEUs must provide content that goes beyond what is required under the current BCBA Task List and be consistent with the BCBA Guidelines for Responsible Conduct. The session can address any aspect of the behavior-analytic practice, science, methodology, and theory. Offering your session for BCBA CEUs does not require additional responsibilities and provides a needed service to BCBAs wishing to maintain certification.

- One complimentary registration will be provided per presentation when the first presenter (or a designated co-presenter) registers on or before the Early Registration deadline. After the early registration deadline, the fee will be 50% of the attendee registration fee. (Registration details)
