ARLINGTON, Va. – RESNA's Professional Standards Board (PSB) has updated the "in-service" training hours allowed for ATP renewal. Previously, ATPs could submit up to three in-service contact hours per year toward ATP renewals, for a total of six contact hours. That has now been increased to 10 in-service contact hours per renewal period. The ten hours may be earned at any point during the renewal period, RESNA says. "The PSB made this change due to the increasingly complex technology now included in many of today’s assistive technology products, including artificial intelligence, and the rapid pace of technology innovation," the organization stated. ATPs must complete 20 hours of continuing education in assistive technology every renewal cycle. Continuing education can be done through in-person or online courses, seminars and workshops. In-service training hours fall under continuing education credits (CEC) or contact hours. You can find an updated "in-service" training form on RESNA’s website.
