FAQ's: Frequently Asked Questions about MSCC

ASHA Continued Professional Development Requirements Information taken directly from ASHA website: http://www.asha.org/about/membership-certification/certification/FAQ_SLP-standard7.htm#14 Question: #19. Can I take a CE activity that is not offered through an ASHA-approved CE Provider? Yes. You may choose to accumulate the required 30 contact hours through participation in employer-sponsored in-service or other continuing education activities that contribute to professional development; however, you will not earn ASHA CEUs or be able to maintain the hours on the ASHA CE Registry to document your participation. If you need to earn ASHA CEUs, and the organization offering the CE activity is not an ASHA-approved CE Provider, you may choose to develop an Independent Study plan and have it approved and monitored by an ASHA-approved CE provider as an Independent Study. Please refer to Question E4: How can I earn ASHA CEUs through Independent Study? 20. What are the criteria for selecting a good continuing education provider and/or activity? When you are choosing a professional development activity, you should consider and evaluate the following: � What are the knowledge, skills, and competencies that you need to acquire or enhance? � Can the provider clearly explain the content so that you can determine whether it will meet your needs? Does the description match the course title? � Is the target audience identified? Do you fit the audience? � Is there a limit to the number of people who can attend so that hands-on applications and opportunities to practice new skills are feasible? � Are learning outcomes stated and do they indicate what you will be able to do as a result of attending? � To help you distinguish between broad overview courses and in-depth courses, look at whether the number of learning outcomes is reasonable for the length of the program. � Do the instructor's credentials indicate that a meaningful program will be presented? Question: #24. Can I earn ASHA CEUs for professional development activities I take through my state or my employer? If your state association, employer, or other provider is an ASHA-approved CE provider, then you will be eligible to earn ASHA CEUs. If the provider is not an ASHA-approved CE provider, you can use the contact hours you accumulate to meet your maintenance requirement as long as the activity meets the definition of professional development and it occurs during your 3-year maintenance interval.


Bringing children to courses Question: Is it okay for me to bring my newborn baby or kids of any age to a conference? Answer: While we fully support and acknowledge the importance of our families, we respectfully request that you make arrangements for someone to care for your children as they are not allowed in the conferences. Thank you for understanding.


MSCC annual registration fees Question: If I paid my registration fee for last year, but never attended any courses, can my registration fee apply to this year? Answer: No, membership is paid on an annual basis and is not transferable if you do not attend any classes in the calendar year proceeding the current year. You will need to pay your annual fees every year regardless of the number of courses you attend.
