Check back soon for more 2012 Poster Session Information.
Posters are a great way to tell others about what worked for your learner or child. Posters can creatively tell the story of someone’s progress and be helpful to others. Parents and teachers are encouraged to submit poster proposals that showcase an individual’s perseverance and success. Posters should demonstrate a clear relationship between a behavior change and an intervention.
Please be sure to read the information and instructions for the Call for Posters prior to submitting your proposal. The information can be found at www.autismnj.org. Unfortunately, partial information cannot be saved. The lead presenter must fill out the form in its entirety and attach the necessary documents in order to submit a proposal.
