Study Groups
Study groups are included at no additional cost with your annual CNYSLHA membership. Each study group is offered as a series of four sessions. Each session lasts 1.0 hour or 1.5 hours, depending on the speaker’s agenda. They offer an excellent opportunity to learn in a small-group setting, fostering discussion and networking. Sessions are typically held virtually and will offer ASHA CEUs for those who attend at least three of the sessions in a series.
Certificates of attendance are issued at the end of the series.
