Nurturing Lifelong Learning – Resources Available Through ASHA

Audiologists and speech-language pathologists are committed to lifelong learning—not only because of state or credentialing agency mandates. No, speech-language pathologists and audiologists realize that continued learning is essential to practice effectively in today’s ever changing healthcare arena.

There are many ways to continue the learning that began in graduate school. Internships, academic courses, research, journal study, formal workshops, and conventions are but a few of the ways in which professionals can engage in lifelong learning and stay abreast of new practice areas, emerging technology, and new clinical techniques. Sometimes the toughest part about lifelong learning is deciding which educational opportunity is right for you, and once that is done, finding the time and funding.

ASHA is a leader in developing traditional continuing education activities such as the ASHA Convention as well as a plethora of flexible and economical continuing education alternatives. Here is a sampling of continuing education activities available through ASHA:

Learn and Earn: ASHA Continuing Education recognized the need for an economical program choice that offers convenience, flexibility, and variety, allowing speech-language pathologists and audiologists to pursue professional development in individualized areas of interest. Introduced approximately 1 year ago, Learn and Earn ASHA CEUs currently consists of five components: Journal Study Groups, Preparing and Providing Instruction, Earning Academic Credit, Publishing an Article in a Peer-Reviewed Publication, and Learning Related to Clinical Fellow Supervision.

The number of ASHA CEUs that can be earned varies from 0.1 to 6.0 depending on the component you select. Fees also vary based on the number of ASHA CEUs earned: from $55 for 0.6 ASHA CEUs (6 hours) earned by participating in a Journal Study Group to $175 for 4.5 ASHA CEUs (45 hours) earned by taking a 3-credit university or college semester-based course related to the professions. 

ASHA Professional Development: For inexpensive courses that involve no travel at all, ASHA Professional Development’s journal-based self-studies can’t be beat. To earn ASHA CEUs, you read the articles and take a multiple-choice test.

Fees for journal self-studies are based on the number of ASHA CEUs and can be as low as $45. Here are some of the journal self-studies available now:

• Aphasia: The Role of Social Participation in Intervention (0.2 ASHA CEUs)
• Autism Spectrum Disorders: Evidence-Based Intervention (0.2 ASHA CEUs)
•  JCIH Year 2000 Position Statement: Principles and Guidelines for Early Hearing Detection (0.2 ASHA CEUs).

Telephone seminars and replays are another convenient, inexpensive way to earn ASHA CEUs. They’re especially cost-effective for groups, since an unlimited number of participants can listen to a single broadcast and earn ASHA CEUs for a flat fee. The replay option also lets you dial up and listen to the program at any time that suits your schedule. The following telephone replays are available now:

• Hair Cell Regeneration in the Inner Ear (0.2 ASHA CEUs, available through July 23, 2005)
• Ethical Issues and Employer Demands (0.2 ASHA CEUs, available through May 25, 2005)
• Standardizing Dysphagia Diets: The National Dysphagia Diet and Other Issues (0.2 ASHA CEUs, available through June 29, 2005).

ASHA’s Special Interest Divisions: Yet another cost-effective mechanism to earn ASHA CEUs is through ASHA Special Interest Divisions’ newsletters. By joining one of the following divisions, you receive newsletters that afford you the opportunity to accrue ASHA CEUs:

• Division 1, Language Learning & Education
• Division 2, Neurophysiology & Neurogenic Speech & Language Disorders
• Division 11, Administration & Supervision; Division 12, Augmentative & Alternative Communication
• Division 13, Swallowing & Swallowing Disorders
• Division 14, Communication Sciences & Disorders in Culturally & Linguistically Diverse Populations
• Division 16, School-Based Issues.

Be sure to document your participation by earning ASHA CEUs. After completing a course offered by an ASHA approved CE Provider, complete the ASHA CEU Participant form and return it to the Provider. The form will be sent to the ASHA Continuing Education Board, which will award your ASHA CEUs through ASHA’s CE Registry. The CE Registry will maintain your records and issue you a transcript whenever you need it. Your transcript is not only an official, enduring, and cumulative record of all your ASHA CE courses, but it is an outward sign to peers, consumers, supervisors, and present or potential employers that you are committed to lifelong professional learning.
