We are excited to open up submissions to the poster session at the 8th Annual Verbal Behavior Conference! The mission of this conference is to highlight, support, and mentor practitioners and researchers who utilize the theoretical, practical and empirical information about verbal behavior in their practice. This year the poster presenters will have the opportunity to present in-person if they are planning to attend the conference, or virtually through the Behavior Live platform.

Graphs and tables submitted must be of professional quality and formatted according to APA
