In order to receive ASHA CEUs for any livestream or on-demand course, you must attend the entire event or watch the entire video, confirm your attendance via a digital sign-in sheet, and fill out a course evaluation related to learner outcomes.


How will you access certificates of attendance and/or CE certificate(s)?

Livestream Course Completion Requirements:

Following each livestream course, you will receive an email link to verify you watched the live course in its entirety. This link will also contain an evaluation survey based on projected learner outcomes. Once enrollment and attendance has been verified, you will receive a link containing your certificate of attendance and other CE documents, if applicable. If you are claiming ASHA CEUs, you must provide your ASHA number at the time of verification. All attendees are required to submit and track their own ASHA CEUs or other CE credits. Think Social Publishing will confirm attendance based on our records of your enrollment and your attendance verification statement.


On Demand Course Completion Requirements:

Once you have completed the online course in its entirety, you must verify this by signing a digital attendance sheet. The digital attendance verification can be found in a link in the upper right above the video stream in the CE section. The link will also contain an evaluation survey based on projected learner outcomes. If you are claiming ASHA CEUs, you must provide your ASHA number at the time of verification. Once enrollment and attendance has been verified, you will receive a link containing a certificate of attendance and other CE documents, if applicable within 3-4 business days. All attendees are required to submit and track their own ASHA CEUs or other CE credits. Think Social Publishing will confirm attendance based on our records of your enrollment and your attendance verification statement.


Please note, Social Thinking reports ASHA CEUs once a month. ASHA then verifies and posts in the registry. Your course(s) may not show up on the CE Registry for several weeks after you have completed the course.


Face-to-Face Conferences:

Each attendee must sign in and sign out for each day of the live event. In order to receive the advertised number of ASHA CEUs or other CEs, you must attend the entire day. If for some reason, you need to leave the event early, you must sign out and no partial ASHA credit will be given. At the end of the live event, a QR code will be provided for attendees to scan and fill out an evaluation survey based on projected learner outcomes. If you are claiming ASHA CEUs, you must provide your ASHA number at the time of verification. All attendees are required to submit and track their own ASHA CEUs or other CE credits. Think Social Publishing will confirm attendance based on our records of your enrollment and your attendance verification statement.


IMPORTANT NOTICE: We no longer provide CE credit to clinical social workers and clinical psychologists. However, we are an approved NBCC provider and some states (e.g., Massachusetts) allow mental health professionals to claim a certain percentage of CEs from NBCC providers. Please check your state requirements.


Exception: New York State - Mental health counselors and licensed clinical social workers may receive CE credit if watching a livestream or attending a live conference.
