CONTINUING EDUCATION UNITS
Continuing Education
Continuing education may be a requirement for maintenance of professional licensure, professional credentials or certification, or employment. The standard measure of continuing education is the CEU (Continuing Education Unit). One CEU is the equivalent of 10 hours of instruction. The minimum measure generally recognized is 0.1 CEU (one hour of instruction) and amounts are rounded to the nearest tenth. CEUs are available for participation in approved activities.
Professionals working in the area of rehabilitation engineering and assistive technology desire to maintain the most current knowledge and skills in providing services to people with disabilities. In some cases, professionals working in the fields of rehabilitation and health care must produce evidence of continuing professional develop-ment to maintain licensure or certification.
CEUs will be offered in partnership with the AAC Institute, for all workshops and paper presentation sessions attended. The AAC Institute has been reviewed and approved as an Authorized Provider by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET). RESNA and ASHA accept the AAC Institute IACET CEUs for maintenance of the ATP/ATS/RET credential.
