About ASHA BookTalk
|
Here's How ASHA BookTalk Works
- Invite four to ten interested speech-language pathologists or audiologists in your area.
- Hold a meeting to complete your registration forms, select your book, determine your reading schedule, and select your meeting times/places. Go to Start a Group to download registration forms.
- Submit your materials and await official approval of your group from ASHA (this only takes about one week).
- Read your group's scheduled chapters during a 3- to 6-month period.
- Conduct regular meetings to discuss what you've read.
- Submit your final forms to ASHA right after you've held your last meeting.
- Allow four weeks for your ASHA CEUs to post to your ASHA CE Registry transcripts.

"We enjoyed the flexibility of being able to schedule our own hours, the sharing of ideas and the low cost."

Getting Credit for ASHA BookTalk
Each meeting your ASHA BookTalk group holds should run a minimum of 60 minutes and a maximum of 120 minutes.
60-minute sessions earn .1 ASHA CEUs and 120-minute sessions earn .2 ASHA CEUs.
The maximum credit per book you can earn is 1.2 ASHA CEUs.
Therefore, the amount of ASHA CEUs you earn is entirely up to you and your group!
Participants
Every ASHA BookTalk group needs a Coordinator. That's just the person who registers your group with ASHA. The Coordinator should be an ASHA member, but the other readers in the group just need to be speech-language pathologists or audiologists who are ASHA members or have a Master's Degree or higher.
Members of your ASHA BookTalk group should take turns acting as each meeting's Facilitator—that's the person who moderates the meeting and makes sure the group stays on topic. Being a Facilitator is a great way to get to know your co-workers better.
