ONLINE CONFERENCE FAQS

Are CEU credits available?

CEU credits are available for ASHA and APA participants that register for the conference.


How will I know how to sign in?

Login and password instructions will be sent to your e-mail address two weeks prior to the event. Your login and password will only be good for one person. If you share it, and they sign on before you, you will not have access to the conference.


What if I cannot view it all at one time?

All registrants will have access to archived files. This means that you will get a website to go to that will allow you to log in and view the conference up to one week after the actual live date. You will not have access to ask questions while viewing the archived files. This will allow you to view it in “pieces” if you do not have the time to watch it all at once.
