| Description: Presenting information to a variety of audiences is an integral part of the professional’s role in dissemination of our science and practice (BACB, 2014). Yet, as Friman (2014) reports, “apparently, the front of the room contains stimuli so aversive that, when queried, many people report fearing it more than death itself. “ Even when professionals do brave the front of the room, they may not achieve their objectives- for a variety of reasons, ranging from the quality and format of their materials to the presentation of those materials. In this three-hour WORKshop, participants will learn how to tell their story and use technology ethically and effectively to ensure their audiences achieve the learning objectives and walk away inspired! Following a brief period of lecture and demonstration, participants will develop a 5-minute presentation using these guidelines with support from the instructor and peers, deliver this presentation, and receive supportive feedback. Note: A laptop or tablet with Microsoft PowerPoint or Apple Keynote installed is required, and some prior experience with presentation software is preferred. Additionally, participants may have a specific topic or data to present, but this is not required. |
| Learning Objectives: 1. Cite elements from the BACB Professional and Ethical Compliance Code regarding Responsibility to the Profession and Public statements. 2.
