About the Pep Talk Podcast

Your New Favorite Way to do Continued Education

Earn Professional Development Hours (PDHs) or TSHA CEUs by listening to podcast episodes and purchasing and passing a short quiz. You will earn a certificate that you may submit to ASHA for your CCC maintenance hours. ASHA accepts PDHs for all 30 hours to maintain your CCCs. These courses are also approved TSHA (Texas) CEUs. Check your state’s standards to make sure PDHs can be used for your state licensure requirements.

HOW IT WORKS

Listen, take a quiz, and earn a certificate of completion! 
Listen to this podcast episode course on your favorite podcast listing platform (Spotify, Apple Music, etc.). 
ASHA requires that CE courses take attendance (your unique login) and learner earns a certificate of completion (by passing the quiz). This program has been approved for 1 clock hour of continuing education credit by the Texas Speech-Language-Hearing Association (TSHA). TSHA approval does not imply endorsement of course content, specific products, or clinical procedures. TSHA continuing education (CE) hours can be used toward renewal of your Texas license (and most other states too) and as professional development activities for the maintenance of your ASHA Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC). The Pep Talk Podcast for SLPs podcast episode courses have been planned and implemented in accordance with the policies of the Continuing Education Board of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA). TSHA is accredited by the ASHA CEB to provide continuing education for speech-language pathologists and audiologists.
