ASHA certified speech-language pathologists must carry current license by completed continuing education. Like many state-level certifications, ASHA now requires SLPs to complete an ethics course during each interval.
“All certificate holders must complete a minimum of 1 hour of professional development in the area of ethics (1 CMH or 0.1 ASHA CEUs) each interval, beginning with certificate holders in the 2020–2022 certification maintenance interval.” Read more about the ethics requirement change here.

I checked the Super Duper website and it says they are not currently offering any prerecorded free continuing education courses.

Just FYI, Speechpathology no longer offers any Ethics courses using their “1 free course” promo. Bummer.
