AI for Speech Language Pathologists

Artificial intelligence can help speech-language pathologists save time, create personalized materials, improve communication, and organize clinical information—but only when professional judgment remains in control.

AI for Speech-Language Pathologists is a practical guide to using AI responsibly across documentation, therapy-material development, assessment preparation, client education, research, and clinic operations. Readers will learn how to write safer prompts, protect confidential information, evaluate AI tools, identify biased or unreliable outputs, and build reviewable workflows that support rather than replace clinical expertise.

The book includes profession-specific examples, reusable prompt frameworks, vendor-evaluation questions, documentation safeguards, guidance for different clinical populations, and a realistic 30-day adoption plan. Special attention is given to HIPAA, school privacy, automated transcription, multilingual communication, clinical risk, and high-stakes areas such as swallowing.

Designed for practicing SLPs, clinic owners, school-based professionals, students, supervisors, and rehabilitation teams, this guide provides a clear path toward gaining the benefits of AI without compromising privacy, accuracy, ethics, or individualized care.
