  As speech therapists, we are required to maintain our licensure and American
  Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) certification by attending
  continuing education courses. Fortunately for us as SLPs, the resources are
  endless! To maintain our ASHA Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC),
  speech-language pathologists (SLPs) must earn 3.0 continuing education units
  (CEUs) over three years. To convert that to hours of professional development,
  0.1 CEU is equivalent to one hour of certification maintenance hours. State
  licensure CEU requirements vary.
