ASHA & BACB Ethics for Collaboration/Tele-Health

This training does not provide CEU.

Description: Adherence to a Code of Ethics is essential for both Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) and Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs). In January 2020, The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), launched new SLP Certification Standards. Many updates and changes were released and require action, including the requirement that ALL certificate holders complete a minimum of 1 of 30 Clinical Maintenance Hours (.1 ASHA CEU) in the professional development area of ETHICS. Similarly, BCBAs must complete 4 of 32 CEUS in the area of ETHICS. 

Special Learning Inc. teamed up with Tamara Kasper, a dually certified SLP/BCBA, to provide you with the opportunity to help meet these requirements immediately! We offered a 2-hour session that covered the new ASHA mandates, and current BACB mandates, and reviewed the ethical codes established by ASHA and the BACB. This session included a case review that revealed common ethical complaints from both fields and how to foster collaboration across disciplines.
