AAC and AI Mentoring for Speech Pathologists

 

Where Do You Start?

Maybe you've got a handful of AAC clients on your caseload and you're not sure which system actually fits them.

Maybe you're watching AI change every industry around you, and wondering where to safely use AI as a Speech Pathologist. 

Either way, working it out alone is slow. That's what 1:1 mentoring is for.

MEET YOUR MENTOR

 

I've been a speech pathologist for 18 years, working in paediatric practice with complex communicators and AAC users. In more recent years I've become an AI educator, teaching practitioners on the ground how to use AI practically and safely. I created the AI in Practice course and founded the Speech Pathology AI Tool Library, and I still test or demo tools in my own caseload before I recommend it in yours.

 

Bring your real caseload and your burning AI questions, we will problem solve so you walk away feeling clear about the plan moving forward. Setting regular goals and circling back to keep you on track.

 

I offer 1:1 AAC mentoring and AI mentoring for speech pathologists, and you can focus on AAC, AI, or both. Sessions are built around your actual caseload and practice.

AAC Mentoring for Speech Pathologists

 

You've got AAC clients on your caseload, from early communicators to more complex users, and you're not sure which system actually fits: low-tech, mid-tech, or high-tech. Feature matching and NDIS trials feel like guesswork. 

By the end, you'll: know how to feature-match across low, mid, and high-tech AAC options, from early communicators through to complex users, backed by a trial process that holds up for NDIS.

 

 What we work through:

     ✔ Your current case, communication profile, and where you're stuck
     ✔  Feature matching across low, mid, and high-tech options, and trial planning that meets NDIS requirements
     ✔  Implementation and next-step review

AI Mentoring for Speech Pathologists

 

You know AI could save you hours, but you're not sure it's ethical for clinical work, which tools actually fit your practice, or whether relying on it means your clinical reasoning starts to slip.

By the end, you'll: have 1-2 AI tools trialled against your real caseload and embedded in your workflow, used safely and ethically, in a way that sharpens your practice.

 

 What we work through:

     ✔ Where AI can ethically and safely support your workflow, and where it can't
     ✔  Trialing tools against your real caseload, with your clinical judgement staying in the driver's seat
     ✔  Reviewing results and embedding what actually holds up
