Texas Speech Language Pathologists

Continuing Education Requirements
Texas-licensed speech language pathologists have a biennial license renewal with a birth month
deadline. A minimum of twenty clock hours (two CEUs) shall be required to renew a license issued for a
two-year term. The holder of dual licenses, meaning both a speech-language pathology license and an
audiology license, shall be required to earn 30 clock hours (three CEUs) to renew a license issued for a
two-year term. A license holder must complete a minimum of 2.0 clock hours (0.2 CEUs) in ethics as part
of the continuing education requirement each renewal term.

Proof of having earned at least 20 clock hours of continuing education (CE) with at least two clock hours
in ethics during the two-year renewal cycle is required by each licensee. The hours must have been
completed prior to the date of expiration of the license. Dual licensees must complete 30 clock hours of
CEs with at least two clocks in ethics during the two-year renewal cycle.

The continuing education requirements are intended to maintain and improve the quality of services
provided to the public by licensed speech-language pathologists, audiologists, assistants in speechlanguage pathology, and assistants in audiology. Continuing education credits include courses beyond
the basic preparation which are designed to promote and enrich knowledge, improve skills, and develop
attitudes for the enhancement of the licensees, thus improving the speech and hearing care to the
public.

Professional Development Resources is approved by the Continuing Education Board of the American
Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA Provider #AAUM) to provide continuing education
activities in speech-language pathology and audiology. See course page for number of ASHA CEUs,
instructional level and content area. ASHA CE provider approval does not imply endorsement of course
content, specific products or clinical procedures. CEUs are awarded by the ASHA CE Registry upon
receipt of the CEU Participant Form from the ASHA Approved CE Provider. Please note that the
completion date that appears on ASHA transcripts is the last day of the quarter, regardless of when the
course was completed.

Continuing Education Courses for Speech Language Pathologists:

Visuals for Autism: Beyond the Basic Symbols is a 2-hour online video CE course. It is well-established
by research that many learners on the autism spectrum benefit from the use of visuals. How can we go
beyond a basic use of symbols to create and implement individualized visuals that will help our students
learn and communicate more comprehensively? Participants will learn about considerations and
strategies to take into account in order to put more effective visuals in place for their students on the
autism spectrum. Topics covered include: broadening symbol selection, adding layers and additional
components to visuals in order to make them more motivating and meaningful, providing visuals for a
wide variety of expressive communicative functions, and using visuals for comprehension and
organization as well as expression.

Ethics for Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology is a 2-hour online CE course. Speech-language
pathologists and audiologists encounter ethical issues across the spectrum of practice settings, from
pediatric treatment to care of elders in skilled nursing facilities. This course will present an overview of
ethical issues that arise in speech-language pathology and audiology practice, including barriers to
ethical thinking, evidence-based ethics, economics, discrimination, abuse, bullying in the workplace,
boundaries, confidentiality, social media, and infection control.

Helping Your Young Client Persevere in the Face of Learning Differences is a 3-hour online video CE
course. Clinicians and teachers working with students struggling at grade level are committed to raising
their students’ achievement potential by creating opportunities to learn. In order to accomplish this,
they need to learn new techniques that can help encourage discouraged students – particularly those
who have different ways of learning – by supporting and motivating them without enabling selfdefeating habits. This course will provide strategies and techniques for helping students minimize the
patterns of “learned helplessness” they have adopted, appreciate and maximize their strengths, develop
a growth mindset, value effort and persistence over success, view mistakes as opportunities to learn,
and develop a love of learning that will help them take personal responsibility for their school work. The
course video is split into 3 parts for your convenience.
