Continuing Education Credit at Working Together in Schools: Whole Child, Whole Team

At this online conference, you can earn up to 2.65 ASHA CEUs or 26.5 professional development hours (PDHs), including 7.5 hours of live sessions and video chats.

The amount of units you earn is based on the number of sessions you complete and chats you attend during this 20-day conference.

Sessions

Recorded sessions are available on demand while the conference is in session. You may watch them any time that fits your schedule. Each session is planned to be approximately 1 hour long. The exact duration of each one will be posted in the conference hall.

Live Sessions and Live Video Chats

Each live session is 1 hour long, and each live video chat is a half-hour long. To receive credit for a live session or chat, you must be logged in for the full duration. You do not need to post a question to receive credit but you must be online.

For this online conference, you may earn credit for watching an on-demand recording of a live session or video chat if you are unable to attend live. We encourage participants to attend live if at all possible, but if you have a schedule conflict, you can watch the recording before the last day of the conference. Credit will be given for either the live session/chat or the on-demand recording, not both.

Bonus!

Since the conference is packed with great information, you will have access to recorded sessions, on-demand chat recordings, and discussion boards for an additional week (July 30–August 5) after the conference ends! During this extension, use the archived information for reference only—sorry, continuing education credit cannot be earned after the conference ends on July 29.

Reporting Your Attendance

You must enter your activities in the ASHA Learning Center to receive credit. We encourage you to keep track of all your activities and enter them in the reporting system at once at the end of the conference, but you may add your activities after each session if you prefer. All activities must be added no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday, July 29, 2024. If you need a record of the activities in which you participated—or think you may need a record in the future—you must report for credit by July 29.

The system will keep a running total of the activities you have added, allowing you to track the number of hours accrued. The system will then convert your total hours to ASHA CEUs or PDHs as appropriate. You can find detailed instructions for entering your activities inside the conference site.

You will automatically receive an event report (aka certificate of completion) after you finish the activity-reporting process. The certificate of completion/event report lists the session names and number of hours you completed. If you are a member of the ASHA CE Registry, credits will be reported to the Registry no later than August 23.

If you miss the reporting deadline because of an extenuating circumstance, see the ASHA Professional Development appeals process.

About ASHA CEUs and PDHs

ASHA CEUs and Eligibility

ASHA CEUs are awarded through the ASHA CE Registry to SLPs, audiologists, or speech/language/hearing scientists. To receive ASHA CEUs, eligible persons must join the ASHA CE Registry. Learn more about the Registry.

Joining the Registry is optional. If you are eligible to earn ASHA CEUs, but choose not to join the Registry, you may track your own professional development hours (PDHs).

This program is offered for up to 2.65 ASHA CEUs (Intermediate level; Professional area)

Professional Development Hours and Eligibility

Professional development hours (PDHs) are an alternative measurement unit for continuing education activities. Related professionals, SLP and audiology assistants, and others may receive PDHs.

PDHs from this conference apply toward ASHA certification maintenance. You should check with other authorities (such as state license boards or departments of education) to see if they recognize PDHs.

How ASHA CEUs/PDHs Are Calculated

Keep the following points in mind while keeping track of your ASHA CEUs/PDHs.

• One ASHA CEU equals 10 hours of instruction.
• One PDH equals 1 hour of instruction.
• Both ASHA CEUs and PDHs are rounded down to the nearest half hour. So, for example, if you complete 11 recorded sessions totaling 11 hours, 38 minutes, and four live chats totaling 4 hours, you would receive 15.5 PDHs, or 1.55 ASHA CEUs.
