Question 11

How do I get CECs for the sessions I attend?

Accepted Answer

Your proof of attendance and CEC credits are on your CEC certificate, instructions on how to find your CEC certificate will be email at the conclusion of the event. Workouts do not qualify for CECs. They are designed to be just that, a workout. No CEC-able education is associated with them.

Your CEC certificate will populate with the sessions you selected during the registration process. You will receive communications on how to change/select sessions leading up to the event.

Question 12

Question 14

What do I do if zero credits are assigned to my scheduled session?

Accepted Answer

CECs are assigned by each certification agency. Certification agencies base credits on the education provided and presenter qualifications. If you would like to attend a different session that is offering CEC credit, simply make the change online to your schedule prior to attending the event, or to make changes to your schedule on-site, visit Attendee Registration.

Question 15

How many CECs are offered for each session?

Accepted Answer

Generally, you’ll receive one CEC per contact hour for workshops and lectures. We are in the process of getting approvals from each of the agencies above and will post the credits soon as they are available. That way you’ll know exactly how many credits the session you are interested in attending is approved for by your certification agency.

Question 16

Question 17

What is your policy on service animals?

Accepted Answer

If you require an Emotion Support Animal (ESA) please contact IDEA prior to arriving to the event. IDEA will require current documentation (not more than one year old) on letterhead from a licensed mental health professional stating (1) the attendee has a mental health-related disability listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM IV); (2) having the animal accompany the attendee is necessary to the attendee’s mental health or treatment; (3) the individual providing the assessment of the attendee is a licensed mental health professional and the attendee is under his/her professional care; and (4) the date and type of the mental health professional’s license and the state or other jurisdiction in which it was issued. This documentation may be required as a condition of permitting ESA’s to accompany attendees. Under the Americans With Disabilities Act, ESA’s are not given the same rights and exemptions as Service Animals and approval of ESA’s in public areas and businesses are at the discretion of those entities. If prior approval is not given by IDEA, attendees will be asked to remove the ESA from the event.
