.1 ASHA CEUs
Counseling is one of ASHA's 8 pillars of practice, yet many training programs lack a course or consistent path to learning. Further, counseling is a skill, which needs to be trained through iterative practice, reflection, and guided feedback. Attendees will learn about evidence-based approaches to counseling training and how to integrate practice and feedback into course time. We will draw upon evidence from counseling training programs, including collaborative counseling (Hoepner & Zigler-Miller, 2025) and an online counseling education program (Sekhon et al., 2023).
Learning Objectives
- Identify the role of counseling in communication sciences and disorders disciplines and our scope of practice.
- Evaluate evidence-based approaches to teaching theory and counseling skills.
- Apply strategies to integrate counseling training into their courses and supervision.

This course is designed with a participation requirement that ensures meaningful engagement and learning. Participants must be present for the entire 60-minute webinar to receive the assessment. The assessment is a key component in obtaining both their certificate of completion and ASHA CEUs. In addition to standard assessments of the speaker's effectiveness and the overall content quality, participants are challenged to demonstrate practical application of the knowledge gained. The required question prompts participants to articulate and list two specific action items they plan to implement. This promotes critical thinking about how to apply new information in their professional practice with a forward-thinking response.
