ASHA Convention Program & Exhibit Guide - 54

Presenter Disclosure Statements
All Convention presenters, including those displaying
posters, must-at the beginning of the session or
presentation-make a disclosure statement.
ASHA's disclosure requirements are designed to promote transparency in the
design, development, and presentation of courses offered for ASHA CEUs,
resulting in Convention attendees' having a more complete context in which to
evaluate presenters' information.
All presenters must disclose all relevant financial and nonfinancial relationships-or lack thereof-to attendees in each session that they present as the
relationships relate to their presentation content. Presenters of Oral Sessions
should begin the presentation with a slide and verbal statement indicating their
adherence to the policy and disclosing any relevant financial and nonfinancial
relationships or lack thereof. Poster presenters should include within the visual
presentation a written statement indicating their adherence to the policy and
disclosing any relevant financial and nonfinancial relationships or lack thereof.
If the session focuses on one product, device, or service, the presenter(s) must
disclose whether information about similar products or services will be limited
or not presented.
The disclosure requirement aligns ASHA with current practices in other
professions-particularly, continuing medical education. The ASHA Continuing
Education Board's Requirement 3 (transparency in course planning and delivery)
for presenters indicates that session content and presentations must focus
on the science and/or contemporary practice of audiology, speech-language
pathology, and speech, language, and hearing sciences, not on the sale or
promotion of products or services. Consequently, presenters should not
attempt to persuade learners to favor, use, promote, or purchase a particular
product, piece of equipment, device, or service.
If a session focuses on teaching the theoretical aspects of a product or service
and/or the details of a product's operation, presenters cannot sell or promote
that product or service during the session. Likewise, if presenters use products,
equipment, or devices in conducting a session, they cannot engage in marketing,
promoting, or selling during the session or in the space/place where the session
is held.
If presenters offer a session focused on one product or service, they should
disclose to the audience, before the session begins, that they will present
limited or no information about similar products or services.
Some sessions may focus on one specific approach, product or product line,
tool, technique, service, or model, and there may be limited or no information
provided about other similar approaches, products or product lines, tools,
techniques, services, or models. Authors of such sessions have indicated this
as part of their presenter disclosure statements, all of which are viewable
through the online Program Planner, as noted above. These sessions are fully
accepted presentations of the 2019 ASHA Convention and offer full CE credit,
as determined by the session format, to both the attendees and the presenting
authors.
To report a presenter disclosure issue, visit one of the Information Booths and
ask for a comment form.
