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 ten (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. AAC Institute offers CEUs for many activities in the field of assistive technology. AAC Institute CEUs are offered for all listed activities.
AAC Institute is accredited by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET). The AAC Institute complies with the ANSI/IACET Standard, which is recognized internationally as a standard of excellence in instructional practices. As a result of this accreditation, AAC Institute is accredited to issue IACET CEU.
Up to .1 AAC Institute CEUs (Continuing Education Units) for each individual session and .6 AAC Institute CEUs for a full day session are being offered for participation at ATCNE. RESNA accepts AAC Institute CEUs for maintenance of the ATP/ATS credential. ASHA members can report to ASHA those CEUs earned for sessions that relate to the practice of speech-language pathology and audiology for certification maintenance. AAC Institute maintains the ASHA required records relative to third party substantiation of activity participation. CEUs may be useful for others as well for meeting the requirements for licensure and credential maintenance.
