		BAAM 2008 Convention Thanks Thanks to all those presenters, attendees, and volunteers who made the 2008 BAAM convention one of the best ever. This year's highlights included Jack Michael receiving an award for his "Seminal and Continuing Contributions to Behavior Analysis" and Western Michigan University being commended for providing "A Stimulating and Motivating Enviroment" supporting Jack's contributions. Our special Friday morning presentation by Judge Deborah Tyner on the recent facilitated communication case in Oakland County was especially well-received. The dismissal of the case just a few days earlier in the week allowed Judge Tyner and expert witness James T. Todd to speak more freely about this bizarre case than had been anticipated when the event was planned. Workshops by Mark Sundberg and Eric Larsson on behavioral interventions for autism saw record workshop attendance. The staff of the Eastern Michigan University Student Center went above and beyond in helping make the convention a success. Please mark your calendars for the 23rd annual BAAM convention to be held in the Student Center, February 26-27, 2009.   Convention Overview How BAAM Works: The BAAM convention is a standard, multi-track, session-oriented academic meeting. It is much like the conventions of the Association for Behavior Analysis. Registered attendees may attend the Keynote address, any regular or invited session, and any open meeting on the day or days for which they are registered. Workshops, which are longer than most sessions and where the presenter often provides supplemental materials and interaction, generally cost extra. Registration Cost: At the door registration fees for 2008 for regular members are expected to be about $65/both days; $40/one day. For students, $35/both days; $25/one day. You may pay by cash, check, or credit card (Mastercard or Visa only). Advance registration saves you $5. Location: The meetings will be held at the New Student Center on the Campus of Eastern Michigan University. This is a brand new building on Eastern's campus (Campus Map). Get off of Washtenaw/Cross and take Oakwood North. The New Student Center is about 1/4 mile north of the intersection of Washtenaw and Oakwook on your right. (It can also be accessed by going south on Oakwood off of Huron River Drive.) Enter the Student Center and go to the south end of the 2nd Floor for regisration .
