Many trade associations and state license boards for CEUs do not allow to give product manufacturers' product names or to display links to get more information. The Living In Place Institute has received many requests after the training about manufacturers and their products. As such, we have chosen to provide to you as much information as we can about products that are beneficial to you and your clients. We feel that this is a key benefit of our training philosophy, hence we do not offer CEUs. If you wish to pursue CEUs, we may be able to provide to you support information.
