CA wants students to display the work that is important to them. We encourage you to present on whatever research and information ignites your passion. However, we do have a few requirements for poster content that we ask all presenters to be cognizant of. These include…
- Utilize person-first language whenever possible and appropriate
- Center poster content around autism, neurodivergence, or developmental disabilities
- When speaking about autism, avoid using words such as disease or cure.
In addition, our Conference attendees are a diverse group and not all attendees will be scholars or researchers. When possible, please use language that is clear and accessible for all audience members.
Don’t Forget! We want you to use this opportunity to showcase you and your research. Please include contact information and links to your website, if applicable, so Conference attendees can learn more about your work.
Please make sure your poster is within size and display requirements. Posters which do not meet these requirements may not be eligible for the session.
Size: Posters should be 36″ x 48″ if presented on a trifold. Single-sheet posters should be no larger than 48″ x 36.”
Graphics: Posters should be easily legible from six feet away. Font should be no smaller than 18 pt., and text should be dark against a light background. Please do not use any images which are copyrighted and for which you do not own the copyright.
Display: There will not be enough display methods for all posters. CA requests you bring a poster which can stand on its own, such as a trifold, or provide your own easel or display method.
