The HESP Department sponsors a series of talks on current research in the areas of hearing, speech, and language by visiting researchers or members of the HESP faculty. All students, faculty, staff, and affiliates are welcome and encouraged to attend. For more information, please contact Monita Chatterjee.

Those who attend these seminars will be awarded Certification Maintenance Hours (CMHs). A CMH is 60 minutes of time spent as a learner and participant in a non-ASHA CEU professional development activity. CMHs are different from ASHA-approved CEUs, which are also offered through the department. ASHA permits the use of CMHs for the purpose of maintaining your CCCs. However, you are responsible for maintaining documentation verifying completion of each activity. Documentation will not be maintained on the ASHA CE Registry.

For additional information about CMHs and ASHA certification requirements, please see http://www.asha.org/about/membership-certification/certification/fact_non_asha.htm. Please be aware that state regulatory agencies and boards of education might not recognize or accept CMHs. If you have any further questions, contact Phyllis Bonelli.
