What is a workshop?

Workshops are usually 3 hours in length and scheduled at the beginning or end of the annual conference on either Wednesday or Saturday (Saturday workshops run concurrently with selected sessions). Regardless of scheduled date, all workshops must be eligible for approval as a BCBA/BCaBA continuing education event. They 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.

Note that a workshop is not a sales or marketing event and any commercial advertising efforts are prohibited. Any extra fees must be justified. Not all workshops submitted may be selected for the annual conference-especially given the increasing number of submissions.

Workshop presenters must register for the FABA conference. Any author intending to present/speak should be marked as a presenting author during the Call for Papers.

Note: Presenters receive one half of each registration fee collected (after the CEU fee is deducted).
