ISHA ANNUAL CONVENTION CONTINUING EDUCATION PROCEDURES

 

WHAT ARE CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDITS?

Continuing Education Credits are earned by your participation in a short course, seminar, discussion forum, SIRCA, research presentation, poster presentation, instructional/technical session or workshop. Continuing education hours can be earned for state licensure, early intervention credentials, ISBE or for ASHA’s Clinical Competence Certificate. The 2021 ISHA Annual Convention is offered in 2 courses:

1.     ISHA Annual Convention Live Conference & Recordings

Live and Recorded sessions February 4-6, 2021 offers up to 43 hours of continuing education

Various Levels

2.     ISHA Annual Convention On-Demand Conference
