When I first read this prompt, I was like, “I have no idea!” But when I thought about it a little more, I realized that the answer wasn’t too hard to see. I thought about WVSHA had seminars that counted for CEUs and then thought about how many things come in the mail every day for seminars that my dad can attend to do the same things. I know that, as an SLP, one of the things that I am bound by in the Code of Ethics is to continue my professional development throughout my career. Because of that, I will be required to gain CEUs. But more than that, I hope and think that I will strive to know more about why I am do what I do, and how to make that work easier or more effective.

As far as meeting my own learning needs, I would say that I have all of the available resources I could ever need right at the touch of my fingertips. Beyond that, I could subscribe to periodical journals and read about new ways of seeing and doing things. Also, attending conferences or just watching other people do therapy would be interesting. A lot of learning happens when you are just a watcher and don’t have to think about doing each procedure correctly. So, watching and listening to others in my field will undoubtedly be a way for me to meet my learning needs and incorporate learning into the professional setting.
