CE CREDIT

The Texas Speech-Language-Hearing Association (TSHA) is approved by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) (the State Licensing Board) to sponsor continuing education activities in speech-language pathology and audiology. Continuing education credits are available when you attend the TSHA 2023 Annual Convention under certain stipulated conditions.

Verification for TSHA or ASHA credit is included with all member professionals (Active, Associate, Life) and non-member professionals.

Please note: Attendees registered under the Student Registration Rate are not eligible for TSHA CEs or ASHA CEUs however can request a certificate of attendance. If you are a graduate student who needs CE credits to renew your license or if you are interested in earning CEUs please register at the Professional Full Conference Rate.

Online CE Verification Process
All Convention CE reporting is done online. You should keep a personal record of the sessions you attend. You will log into TSHA’s secure website and enter each completed session. You may return to the website as many times as you like to add more sessions or edit your session list. Completed sessions can only be entered at the conclusion of a session. All sessions must be attended in their entirety. No partial credit will be tabulated for attendance.

CEs are awarded to participants as they are noted in the on-site program and mobile app. If sessions overlap in the program, they cannot be entered for credit. If a session is shorter than stated in the program, credit is awarded as it is stated in the program. There are NO exceptions to these rules. 

In a departure from previous years, you will not report your attendance directly to the TSHA CE Registry. In an effort to simplify the reporting process, attendance reporting will now be conducted directly from the survey magnet. Complete the evaluation for each course you participate in, submit your evaluations, and retrieve your certificates immediately. For TSHA members, our state office staff will automatically populate in the TSHA CE Registry. after the Convention reporting deadline. You must report all your Convention continuing education activities by March 20th, 2023.
