Continuing Education Credit for Livestream, On Demand, and Face-to-Face Conferences
How will you access certificates of attendance and/or CE certificate(s)?
Livestream Course Completion Requirements:
Following the livestream course, an email will be sent with a link to verify your attendance and complete evaluation survey. Upon submitting your response, you will receive access link to the certificate of attendance and other CE documents if applicable. You will receive an email for each course you registered to attend. An online form will be available to SLPs at that time to submit their ASHA info to claim ASHA CEUs.
On Demand Course Completion Requirements:
Once you have watched the recorded content, please sign our digital attendance sheet (link provided underneath the video under the CE section), fill out the attendance form and survey. We will then send the follow-up email with the Certificate of Attendance. Please, allow 3-4 business days for us to send you the certificates. An online form will be available to SLPs at that time to submit their ASHA info to claim ASHA CEUs. Please note, we report ASHA CEUs once a month and it takes several more weeks for them to show on your CE Registry account.
Face-to-Face Conferences:
Certificates are provided to attendees at the end of the conference. If you attended an in-person conference prior to 2019, it will be with your handout packet. Attendees must sign the attendance sheet upon arrival to the conference each day and in the end of each day.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: in the past we were able to provide approved CE credit to the clinical social workers and clinical psychologists, but at this time this option is no longer available. If we find another way to provide CE approval for the courses, we will update this page.
Remember, mental health counselors and NY state licensed clinical social workers can only receive CE credit if they watched the live version of the courses or attended a face-to-face conference.
