Public speaking will continue to be an unsettling experience for some students, including those with disabilities. Experts have suggested several reasons for fearing public speaking; adequate preparation and practice can alleviate most of them. Using the PAVES (Posture, Attitude, Voice, Eye Contact, Smile) strategy described in this article can provide teachers and students with a systematic plan when preparing for public speaking and presentations. The PAVES strategy encompasses components that prompt students' internal and external behaviors toward successful public speaking and presentations. PAVES may be especially helpful for students with disabilities as they are included in general education curriculum and in intervention programs. (Contains 2 figures.)
