As behavior analysts, we are often asked to present behavior analytic information to other professionals, parents and staff. This workshop will teach participants strategies to communicate one’s presentation content more effectively. A competent presentation can effectively deliver information to enhance an audience member’s knowledge on a subject matter and to develop new skills in the audience. The style and methods we use to deliver and communicate such a presentation can advance the audience’s understanding of our message. In this workshop, we will discuss and illustrate common errors made by presenters and we will demonstrate methods to compose and design more effective presentations that truly impart clear and focused information that is instructional, engaging, and that resonates with the audience. This workshop will explore recommendations for pre-presentation tasks, methods to grasp one’s audience within the first few minutes of a talk, and concluding a presentation successfully. The presenters have accumulated a vast amount of presenting experience and bring their unique skill sets, personalities, and diverse background to bring to a stimulating, unique, and useful workshop.   Register at Eventbrite " ["post_title"]=> string(36) "Equity, Diversity & Inclusion in ABA" ["post_excerpt"]=> string(0) "" ["post_status"]=> string(7) "publish" ["comment_status"]=> string(4) "open" ["ping_status"]=> string(4) "open" ["post_password"]=> string(0) "" ["post_name"]=> string(33) "equity-diversity-inclusion-in-aba" ["to_ping"]=> string(0) "" ["pinged"]=> string(0) "" ["post_modified"]=> string(19) "2021-07-07 11:59:07" ["post_modified_gmt"]=> string(19) "2021-07-07 18:59:07" ["post_content_filtered"]=> string(0) "" ["post_parent"]=> int(0) ["guid"]=> string(33) "https://familiasfirst.com/?p=2211" ["menu_order"]=> int(0) ["post_type"]=> string(4) "post" ["post_mime_type"]=> string(0) "" ["comment_count"]=> string(1) "0" ["filter"]=> string(3) "raw" } [2]=> object(WP_Post)#7496 (24) { ["ID"]=> int(2199) ["post_author"]=> string(1) "1" ["post_date"]=> string(19) "2021-05-27 13:46:20" ["post_date_gmt"]=> string(19) "2021-05-27 20:46:20" ["post_content"]=> string(987) "Parents' Place is hosting a community Summer Grab-N-Go drive-thru event on June 25th.  This event is in coordination with the San Gabriel/Pomona Regional Center, Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and World Emergency Relief.

Ruth offered her perspective as a first-generation Latina entrepreneur in the Applied Behavior Analysis field. Ruth is the first Latina in California to own an agency that specializes in providing Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) services. Her experience as a first-generation woman of Mexican descent, solidified Ruth’s commitment to creating an organization providing quality services in an equitable manner to all clients, especially clients who are underserved in our field. From its inception, Familias First has celebrated the diversity of its clients and employees. On average, 96% of our staff are BIPOC. Ruth is also a co-founder of the Latino Association for Behavior Analysis (LABA), a non-profit organization dedicated to disseminating evidence-based practices, training opportunities, networking, and mentoring professionals of Latino descent, and all professionals who serve BIPOC. Ruth made it a priority to be open about both the highs and lows of being a Latina entrepreneur and starting and running Familias First for over 17 years. A wonderful and very interactive Q & A followed her presentation. Below are just a few of the comments from the students themselves about the presentation:
  • I thoroughly enjoyed Ruth's presentation. Not only did she make me feel less alone in having to face barriers due to culture and language, but she also gave me the hope to accomplish great things regardless of those barriers. She reminded all of us to not back down, to not give up, especially in a time where the social climate is a bit intense and scary to face at times.
  • Ruth was wonderful. You can tell how passionate she is about ABA. She was knowledgeable and her career path to get to where she is now is very encouraging. As a first-generation student it was very refreshing to relate to someone.
  • I really enjoyed this presentation because it was very woman empowering…
  • I enjoyed her question about barriers and challenges we have faced in our lives. She didn’t just have us passively recount our experiences, but instead encouraged us to reframe them as a source of strength which I loved.
Ruth sends a big thank you to Dr. Kazemi and her entire class at Cal State Northridge for their attention and engagement. It was an absolute pleasure."
