How to Find an Eligible Journal Issue on ASHA's Course Search Site

In a hurry to locate a CEU activity for self-study? Try these steps:

1. Go to the ASHA Course Search site here

2. For Seminars in Hearing, use as your Keyword: Seminars in Hearing; for Seminars in Speech and Language, use Seminars in Speech; for Journal of Fluency Disorders, use Journal Fluency Disorders.

3. For location, pick Distance Learning.

4. For the most selection and widest availability of topics, end dates, and CE values, do NOT put in any subject terms.

5. Search! You will find a description of all eligible journal issues, their general content, and total CE value when completed. Use the other links on our site to obtain copies of the issue if you do not have ready access to any of these journals.

Obtaining CEUs Through Self-Study

To obtain CEUs through the self-study program, you must do the following:

(1) Obtain the journal issue(s) you wish to read. You are not required to subscribe to these journals to participate in the CEU program, although you must obtain access to the journal issues. We do not provide copies of the journals. The journals may be available through a local or university library. Electronic subscriptions for Thieme journals are also available for individuals and libraries.

(2) Complete the questions at the end of each issue and fax or send them to the Department of Hearing & Speech Sciences. (see mail/fax information below)

(3) Include the CEU handling charge with your submission. The handling charge covers issues from the same volume. Current rates are as follows:

• Journal of Fluency Disorders: $60 for 1-4 issues
• Seminars in Speech and Language: $40 for 1-2 issues, $60 for 3-4 issues
• Seminars in Hearing: $60 for 1-4 issues reported to either ASHA or AAA; $80 for 1-4 issues reported to both ASHA and AAA

Processing of your CEU questions and fees can be by mail/check or fax/credit card for your convenience. Our department staff will then grade your answers and process your CEUs.

Important Notices

*The continuing education office will be closed December 22 - 28, 2011. You may submit continuing education activities during this time; however, credits will not be processed until we return on December 29. **All certificates will be dated to reflect the date the submission was received in our office**, so those with time sensitive material need not worry.*

NOTICE ON PROCESSING TIME FOR CEU MATERIALS: Our goal for processing all submissions is 24 hours. HOWEVER, please be advised that we are located on a University Campus, and that state-mandated holidays and breaks may make it difficult to meet this turnaround, especially around the time of December and March breaks, when our staff is reduced. In addition, growing numbers of CE applicants attempt to submit materials only days (sometimes hours!) before their license renewals are due. Please be advised that we CANNOT GUARANTEE that certificates will be delivered in time, if they arrive to us LESS THAN SEVEN DAYS before your filing deadline. If you have a licensure deadline or other emergency, you should notify us ahead of time, preferably by email (amille26@umd.edu or nratner@umd.edu) so that we can attempt to meet your needs. Participants may fax materials at any time for processing. All certificates will be dated, for CEU completion purposes, by the date received by our offices by fax or mail, not the date they are marked; thus, if you submit an activity by fax on December 31, 2010, it will be recorded as completed by that date. If you send an activity by mail in late December that cannot be delivered to our offices until January 2, 2011, your certificate will be issued to reflect the January date.

All participants must include their ASHA and/or AAA numbers on all submissions. Social security numbers will no longer be accepted.

Corrections To Question And Answer Sheets

Attention: readers of Seminars in Hearing
There was an error on the registration forms of some issues of Volumes 31 and 32 stating, "This activity may be filed for continuing education credit until 12/1/2011."  Issues within these volumes may be submitted past 12/1/2011.  All issues are available for CE credit for approximately three years following their publication date.

Attention: readers of Journal of Fluency Disorders
In Volume 34, 1: Question #4 was printed incorrectly for the article "The relationship between mental health disorders and treatment outcomes among adults who stutter," (pp. 29-43).
Please click here for the correct question.

Attention readers of Seminars in Speech and Language:
In Volume 30, Number 4: The answers for question #17 (article 4) were printed incorrectly. Choice B should read: MacArthur CDI and Bilingual Aphasia Test.
