Review: SpeechPathology.com for CEUs
*Note: Membership costs reflect those at the time this post was written.
CEUs are expensive... unless you know where to get them.
There, I said it. CEUs are expensive. Even worse than spending tons of cash on CEUs is when you find out the course you paid for wasn't what you expected in the first place. We've all been there. We go in hoping to learn useful information (and get our money's worth) and leave disappointed that the information doesn't suit our needs. Thankfully, I've found a way to both save money on CEUs and ensure that I'm getting relevant information. The answer is clear: SpeechPathology.com.
WHAT YOU'LL PAY
The annual subscription for SpeechPathology.com is only $129/year. In the grand scheme, this cost is much less than what you'd pay to get your CEUs through ASHA courses, which averages $20-$60 per one-hour course. For $129, you can get unlimited CEUs for the entire year. This website helped me earn an ACE Award from ASHA because I knew I could take as many courses as I wanted for my subscription price! I didn't have to make tough decisions on which courses would be better suited for me-- I could take them all!
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
Anything you want! I've taken courses on working with students with hearing loss, understanding early childhood stuttering, supporting evidence against using NSOMEs for speech-sound production, ideas for /r/ therapy, and using an iPad for AAC. This is a small sample of courses I've taken on this site. The best part is you can search for a course and watch it at a moment's notice. For example, if you get your first AAC student or a student with a hearing impairment moved into your school, you can come home THAT DAY and start watching or listening to seminars on these areas. You can learn what you need to know, right when you need to know it.
Additionally, if you are a CF or you are transitioning to working in a new setting, I highly recommend taking the "Back to Basics" series on this site. These are some AMAZING refresher courses. I cannot recommend them enough!
WHY I USE IT
I've been a member of SpeechPathology.com since 2017. In that time, I have taken countless courses on almost every topic imaginable. I love that I can take courses in various forms-- live, recorded, video, audio, or text. No matter which learning style best fits your needs, you'll be able to find a way to get your CEUs. If I start a course that isn't what I need, I can stop the course immediately and find one that better suits my needs. I will continue to use this site as an affordable and practical way to earn CEUs and stay up-to-date on relevant topics.
In summary, this site has saved me a lot of money and headaches.
