Where to Get CEUs for Bilingual SLPs

Finding good CEUs can be difficult especially when you want to find relevant courses that are affordable and applicable to your current job setting.  If you are coming towards the end of your ASHA CEU cycle, or if you simply want to learn more about best practices when working with culturally and linguistically diverse students then keep reading because I have compiled a list of great CEU courses/providers that every bilingual (& monolingual) SLP should look into. 

By the way, I am not affiliated with any of the CEU providers mentioned below. These are simply courses that I have marked over the years while looking for CEU courses relevant to the topic of bilingualism/multilingualism.
