You will receive Professional Development Hours (PDHs) for the courses on this site. However, we are in the process of attaining ASHA approved CEU provider status. As a result, per ASHA requirements we have added a field asking for your ASHA number, address, and phone number upon sign up. These fields are optional at this time. They will become mandatory once we attain ASHA CEU provider status. A PDH is a unit of continuing education that is recognized by ASHA. Additional information about PDHs can be obtained here: www.asha.org/certification/reportingunits

All self-study courses are non-refundable
