PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

A sign on a white wall reads 'LOVE TO LEARN' in black letters on a yellow background. Bushes with small flowers are above the wall, and a person wearing a hoodie and sunglasses is walking in the background beside a street.

Dr. Krista McMorran-Maus is a Continuing Professional Development Provider approved by the California Speech-Language Pathology, Audiology, and Hearing Aid Dispensers Board. Krista offers professional development to speech-language pathologists (SLPs) and educators at OC SLP.

A certificate of completion can be given to show proof of the number of professional development hours (PDHs) earned for participating in a presentation/activity. Although these presentations are considered non-ASHA CEU activities, the PDHs earned may be applied toward the number of PDHs required for SLPs to maintain their ASHA certification.

WHAT’S OFFERED

The length and content of the presentations may be tailored to meet the needs of you or your organization. Please contact Dr. Krista McMorran-Maus at OC SLP to discuss these needs.
