About ableU rows. Free to take. If you want ableU to report it to ASHA for you, ASHA charges a Registry fee. You can skip that. Keep your certificate and report the hours yourself.
How to count them
Topic matches. Bilingual AAC at Home and Trauma-Informed Care for Service Providers are the cleanest picks, since ableU says both are registered as Content Area 2. Together they cover the full 2 hours.
Representation Matters and Neurodiversity-Affirming Support for Autistic AAC Users from Tobii Dynavox say they are registered under the ASHA subject Culture, Language, and Identity.
The other pages do not name a content area. You decide whether a course fits, and you can self-attest in your ASHA account. You can also split one course between two requirements.
Hearing First pages show course length, not ASHA hours, and Tobii Dynavox pages show ASHA CEUs, not hours. Both read Not stated. Check the course page before you count it.
The Tobii Dynavox courses need a free Learning Hub account and a final quiz at 80%. Add your ASHA number to your profile so they can report it.
The Lingraphica courses need a free Campus by Lingraphica login and are offered until Oct 31, 2026. Lingraphica says some of them focus on its own AAC devices.
ableU courses are free, but ableU only reports them to ASHA for you if you pay ASHA's CE Registry fee. Otherwise keep the certificate and report it yourself.

Questions
What counts toward Content Area 2?
Professional development that helps you serve people in ways that fit their background and circumstances, or that builds self-reflection and collaboration. It applies to intervals that start on or after Jan 1, 2026. ASHA explains it here.
Can one course count for ethics and cultural responsiveness?
ASHA says yes. You can count the whole course toward one requirement, or split the time between both. Free ethics courses are on the ethics page.
What if the course isn't coded as Content Area 2?
You can self-attest that it meets the requirement in your ASHA account.
