SpeechPathology.com (plus a giveaway!)

SP cover page

Whether or not you were inspired by my ACE award story, you need to comply with certification maintenance requirements.  These days, I have the luxury of being able to travel for CEUs if I choose, but I’ve had many years in which that wasn’t the case and, even today, there are times when it’s great to get the information I’m looking for on my own terms.

SpeechPathology.com is an unbelievable resource in that a $99/year subscription allows you unlimited access to over 600 online, ASHA approved courses in a variety of formats—audio, text, video and live webinars—and most are mobile compatible.  It’s doesn’t get any easier, or more economical, than this!

SP topics copy

To see what’s available, search by topic (you can also specify format, author and course length).  When you find something intriguing, click on course details for an overview including:  abstract, course learning outcomes, time ordered agenda, handouts, ratings, presenter bio and disclosures.

Each class has a short test at the conclusion and CEUs can be directly reported to ASHA’s registry.  Once you’ve registered for a course you usually have 30 days to complete it, including the assessment.  (Live webinars need to be completed within seven days.)

You’d be amazed at the quality of info you can get from an online course.  The fact that you can get the info you need at a convenient moment (or to satisfy and immediate need) is awesome.  The major drawback I find with attending seminars is waiting for pertinent ones to be scheduled near me at a time I can attend.  Live webinars even offer a Q & A section.

SpeechPathology.com generously gifted me with a year’s subscription to take a look at some of their newest offerings (I am particularly excited about SimuCase) plus an additional subscription for a lucky reader!  (You must enter by midnight on Sunday, March 2, 2014 to qualify.  Good luck!)

    Thank you so much for the opportunity to win a subscription to speechpathology.com. I don’t know if I could pick just one area I’m interested in learning more about but I am really into beefing up my vocabulary skill instruction. So I may focus on some related to that area. Have a wonderful day and thank you for all you do as well as share with all of us! 🙂 ~Gail Lindstrom

  2. Diana

    I feel like I can never get enough information about Stuttering! I am really interested in speechpathology.com. I haven’t really hear any reviews, so it was great to have one from you!

  3. Leah

    I would love to learn more about including curriculum common core standards in my therapy lessons, as well as about vocabulary instruction and word finding!! So much to learn about. Thanks for the opportunity!

  4. Lara

    Is the Simucase subscription included in the CEU subscription price of $99 or is it additional?

    1. Charles

      Hi Lara!

      The Simucase program is a separate charge. Here’s the landing page for Simucase.

      Best,

  5. Nicole

    Thank you for this information! I had no idea that SpeechPathology.com was out there but I will surely be looking it up!

  6. Terri Drushell

    Thanks for this opportunity! It is difficult to work full time and raise a family and meet all the CE requirements – especially when you live in a rural area.

  7. Ruth Morgan

    This looks fantastic! I love lots of different topics since my caseload is rather diverse.

  8. Patricia

    I work in the schools so there are so many areas that I would be interested in seeing what courses they would offer. Thanks.

  9. Latrice

    I would love to explore classes related to feeding and behavior.

  10. Sharon S.

    Thank you very much for the opportunity to win a subscription! This year, our district has not released any SLPs to attend any conferences so we are on our own (insert frown face). I would love to learn more about R production, as well as, developing language skills for non-verbal students.

    1. mtmarySLP

      Speechpathology.com has a GREAT /r/ series – 6 CEUs. I loved it!

      1. Charles

  14. Teresa Besson

    What a great giveaway. Thanks for this opportunity.

  15. kristinm333

    Awesome! I am most interested in topics about spinal cord injury and swallowing/respiration/speaking,a s well ass AAC stuff. And swallow in general.

  16. Theresa :)

    I would love to increase my education on apraxia and using aided language simulation via AAC devices!

  17. Kim Hovey

    I am interested in anything early intervention/preschool age!

  18. Shannon Shry

    I would love to win a subscription! I find that it is really hard to take the time off from the public school system to attend trainings- we don’t get subs to cover for us when we are out of the building, and fitting in make-up sessions is next to impossible. It would be amazing to be able to access videos from home!

  19. Linda Bane

    Living in Alaska, opportunities to attend a conference are rare and expensive. This would be a great way to earn CEUs…especially CEUs that are directly reported to ASHA. I am school based so I would like to learn additional information about apraxia and helping classroom teachers teach vocabulary.

  20. Linda Chirco

    Apraxia, stuttering, and autism.
