Continuing Education Units

All MSHA members are encouraged to participate in continuing education activites as a commitment to life-long learning, provision of state-of-the-art services and to maintain certification. An update of educational programs throughout the state can be found in each issue of the et cetera. Programs offering SB CEUs (State Board CEUs) can be found on the State of Michigan, Department of Education, website. Options for earning ASHA CEUs are available on ASHA's website, www.asha.org. Additionally, specific information for maintaining and tracking ASHA CEUs is available on the ASHA website.

A Change is Coming in the ASHA CE Registry

Please remember that the ASHA CEU Registry will no longer use the SSN as the identification number for CE Registry accounts effective January 1, 2010. ASHA account numbers will now be used exclusively as a means of identification of our Registry users.

We urge all CE Registry users to carry their account numbers with them to use when completing the CE Registry Participant form. Please see the helpful tips listed below to help you remember your account number. We ask that you fill in the required information, including your ASHA number, completely and legibly. If you do not have your ASHA account number while filling out a form, you may call ASHA's Action Center at 800.498.2071 during normal business hours (M-F, 8:30 - 5:00 p.m. EST) to obtain your number. Please DO NOT write your SSN on the form.

Here are a few tips to aid you in having your ASHA account number handy at all times:

Cut the address label off an ASHA leader and store it in your wallet or purse. It has your ASHA ID number on it.
Store your ASHA ID number in your cell phone under contacts: ASHA number.
Write your ASHA ID number inside the cover of a notebook and bring the notebook with you as your note-taking paper for all CE activities.
Carry your ASHA card with your driver's license in your wallet.

A sample of the new form is available for your reference (#3, "Fill Out an ASHA CEU Participant Form").

Thank you in advance for making this transition to the new CE Participant form a success

MSHA is a Provider of Both ASHA and State Board of Education CEUs

Continuing Professional Development works in conjunction with ASHA and the State Board of Education in order to provide Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for our MSHA members.

ASHA CEUs are available at our annual conference. MSHA also co-sponsors ASHA CEUs for conferences and workshops offered by professional organizatins that are not ASHA CEU providers.

Maintaining Continuing Education Units

ASHA has two forms that can help you maintain your Continuing Education Units. The Verification of Attendance and the Certification Maintenance Record Keeping forms can be found at:
