As we step into a new year, many clinicians find themselves reflecting on both their work and their purpose. January’s continuing education lineup offers space to learn, recalibrate, and reconnect with the why behind what you do. With courses led by experienced voices across the field, this month invites intentional growth that carries forward all year long.
This month, we’re offering over 14 Courses, more than 17 PD hours and many Live and Interactive ASHA CEUs. This includes sessions like Advancing School-Based Feeding and Swallowing: An Intervention Masterclass, which takes a systems-based approach to safe, functional feeding in schools, and Let’s Be Real: Communication Skills for School Collaboration, focused on practical, values-aligned communication strategies for navigating school-based conversations. Whether you’re looking to deepen expertise in a specialty area or strengthen everyday clinical skills, there’s something here for every clinician.
Don’t forget that Speech Therapy PD hosts the largest collection of on-demand CE courses available online, with new offerings added all the time. If January’s schedule isn’t quite what you need, our full library has something for every interest and specialty.

Margo Kinzer Courter, MA, CCC-SLP, BCS-CL | Live and Interactive (0.10 ASHA CEU)
This first episode of Child Language Case Studies introduces a young learner whose phonological and phonemic awareness challenges are impacting early literacy development, walking clinicians through assessment interpretation, target selection, and developmentally appropriate intervention planning. The case highlights how these foundational skills intersect with broader language development and underscores the importance of collaboration with educators to support classroom carryover. This monthly series will feature case studies across each language domain, with most episodes including both a younger and an older student to illustrate developmental differences in clinical decision making.
Garrett Oyama, MS, CCC-SLP, joined by Dr. Sam Wass, PhD | Live and Interactive (0.10 ASHA CEU)
This conversation explores how attention, regulation, and language development are dynamically shaped by caregiver interaction, stress, and moment-to-moment co-regulation in infants and young children. It highlights research on neural synchrony and shared attention to explain why early attention systems shift so quickly. Listeners will gain practical insights for creating more attuned, responsive intervention strategies that support language development in natural settings.
Renee Garrett, MSEd, CCC-SLP, CBIS and Melissa Brunner, PhD, MHlthSC, CPSP |
