CEU Opportunities
Program of Study
In addition to the Program of Study, we also offer a wide variety of resources to all stakeholders interested in learning about this specialty area including:
Self-Directed Modules
The self-directed online learning modules are delivered through our virtual classroom space. Access to these modules is free. We recommend that you progress through them in order, because the content builds upon the previous module(s).
Learn more about available modules below. CEUs are available for each module. For anyone interested in creating a Community of Practice (CoP) and earning additional CEUs through independent study, a Curriculum Guide for each module is provided. For instructions on how to provide the CoP, watch the pre-recorded webinar, Creating a Community of Practice through CALI’s Self-Paced Modules.
Modules range from 1.0 to 1.2 CEUs
Module 1 – An Introduction to Atypical Language
Module 2 – Working with Individuals Exhibiting Atypical Language
Module 3 – Interpreting Strategies for Individuals with Atypical Language
Module 4 – Decision Points: Working with Consumers Exhibiting Atypical Language

Units of Learning
Ten free Units of Learning (UOLs) ranging from .6 -.7 CEUs are offered. Each UOL was designed to be taken over a two-week period. You can move through them more quickly or take them over a longer period, but we recommend that you do not take a UOL in one sitting or that you stretch a single UOL out for longer than a month. There is no cost for taking the modules.
These UOLs were designed in a manner that allows for independent learning, but some interpreters will benefit from working in pairs or small groups. There are assignments, activities, and reflection opportunities where learners may benefit from reviewing one another’s work, and from the rich discussions that may arise from including a variety of perspectives. Feel free to take these on your own, in pairs, or in a small group.
