Chicago, IL September 25, 2012
Special Learning, Inc., the leading global provider of mobile technology applications and educational resources for the autism community, today announced that American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) has approved it as a continuing education provider. The Continuing Education Board of ASHA gave its commendation to Special Learning after careful consideration of its stringent guidelines. ASHA-approved continuing education providers are the only organizations authorized to offer continuing education courses for audiologists and speech-language pathologists for ASHA continuing education units.
To achieve ASHA-approved continuing education provider status, Special Learning underwent a rigorous application process and successfully demonstrated adherence to the ASHA continuing education standards that focus on the design, development, administration and evaluation of its continuing education courses offered for audiologists and speech-language pathologists.
“Accreditation as an American Speech-Language-Hearing Association continuing education provider means Special Learning joins some very elite company, and it’s a privilege to be associated with such an outstanding and respected organization,” said Karen Chung, president of Special Learning. “ASHA-approved continuing education providers demonstrate a strong commitment to meeting ASHA standards for providing CEUs for audiologists and speech-language pathologists.”
Special Learning joins a small list of 550 organizations, including its sister organization Step By Step, Inc., from around the world that has undergone a meticulous review of their organizational process and courses by ASHA experts in continuing education to ensure the highest possible standards are met.
Special Learning will now be listed on the ASHA-approved continuing educator provider list, and its courses that meet ASHA standards will appear in the ASHA continuing education course search on the ASHA website at http://www.asha.org.
“The process for gaining acceptance into the AHSA-approved continuing education provider group is arduous, and only the most elite can stand as offering exemplary continuing education credits in ASHA’s name,” said Chung. “It’s a very difficult group to join, and we’re glad to be a part of it, if for no other reason than it benefits our community as a whole.”
