ISHA ANNUAL CONVENTION CONTINUING EDUCATION PROCEDURES
WHAT ARE CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDITS?
Continuing Education Credits are earned by your participation in a short course, seminar, discussion forum, SIRCA, research presentation, poster presentation, instructional/technical session or workshop. Continuing education hours can be earned for state licensure, early intervention credentials, ISBE or for ASHA’s Clinical Competence Certificate. The 2022 ISHA Annual Hybrid Convention is offered in 2 courses:
1. ISHA Annual Convention In-Person Conference

HOW DO I REGISTER MY CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDITS?
All participants who want documentation of continuing education earned at the ISHA convention should register their hours via the online CE Registry.
All attendees present for the In-Person Conference will have the option to register their hours via the computers at the CEU desk OR via the Online Continuing Education Registry link shown below (You DO NOT have to do both - the computers at the CEU desk and the Online Continuing Education Registry are linked to the same system).

Registrants who attend BOTH the In-Person and On-Demand/Virtual Conferences should log their hours under the same account in the Online Continuing Education Registry.
