The Florida Association for Behavior Analysis, formed in 1980, is recognized as the premier statewide organization for the promotion and support of effective and ethical applications of behavioral principles. Our 900 members receive a newsletter, the Observer published three times per year and are invited to become members of one of the Local Chapters located around the state. FABA also publishes a Membership Directory and the Proceedings for each year's conference.

Once again, we will offer three full days-PLUS (see Tentative Schedule) of state-of-the-art presentations by experts in the field from Florida and across the nation. As a special bonus, selected workshops and other presentations will be scheduled for Saturday morning for those unable to attend on Wednesday.

Specialized Tracks in autism, education, mental health, developmental disabilities, parenting, performance management and other areas will be incorporated into the Program to assist you in selecting the best presentations for your needs and interests. Continuing Education (CEUs) will be available for Board and Florida Certified and Associate Behavior Analysts as well as Florida Licensed Psychologists, Speech/Language Professionals, Licensed Clinical Social Workers, and Licensed Mental Health Professionals. BCBAs and BCaBAs can save money by paying for their CEUs at the Conference. Note: Separate fees are charged for multiple CEs as these are approved by different agencies.

All this plus the expanded FABA Store, Wednesday Hospitality Suite, Keynote and Presidential Addresses.

IGNITE is a fast-paced, fun, thought-provoking, session where presenters share their professional passions about some aspect of behavior analysis in 5-minuntes, using 20 slides that auto-advance every 15 seconds. The Ignite motto is: "Enlighten us, but make it quick." IGNITE presentations will be grouped into 50-min sessions based on similar themes. To learn more about this exciting new method of sharing your passion and to see some great examples of 5-minute presentations go to: igniteshow.com/

POSTERS are visual presentations of primarily databased information in an attractive, easily understood format that will be viewed by a large number of people. The advantage of a poster is that it provides face-to-face interaction with the author(s). Posters should be constructed so that they are freestanding on a tabletop. POSTERS are combined thematically into POSTER SESSIONS which remain in place for at least 3 hours. The presenters are asked to be present for at least the first hour to answer any questions or more fully describe their work.

PAPERS are oral presentations which may be grouped by subject matter into PAPER SESSIONS. A Chairperson, often one of the presenters, is assigned to introduce speakers and maintain the allotted time of presentations. There is no Discussant.

PANEL DISCUSSIONS bring together several individuals with similar expertise in a subject matter to discuss topics of concern or interest among themselves and with audience members. The organizer of a PANEL selects a Chairperson responsible for introducing topics and speakers. The PANEL would be an appropriate submission for meetings of affiliated chapters or special interest groups.

SYMPOSIA consist of several speakers addressing a very similar topic. A SYMPOSIUM is organized by someone who agrees to Chair the session and designate a Discussant who is prominent in the field. Questions from the audience are addressed at the end of the SYMPOSIUM.

PRECONFERENCE/POST CONFERENCE WORKSHOPS
Workshops should be designed to teach new skills that may be used by the participants. The format of the workshop MUST involve extensive audience participation, use of handouts, opportunities for participants to practice the skills, and/or the use of guided notes.

WORKSHOPS may be for a half-day (3 hours) or fullday (6 hours). Full-day workshops will be scheduled for Wednesday, October 6, 2010. Half-day workshops will be scheduled either Wednesday, October 6, or Saturday October 9, 2010. The workshop must be eligible for approval as a BCBA/BCaBA continuing education event, i.e., the primary presenter must be a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and the content must be Behavior Analytic (cf., Baer, Wolf & Risley, 1968). Workshop presenters will be reimbursed for 40% of workshop registration fees to a maximum of $750 for a half-day event or $1500 for a full-day session.
