AI for therapists: protecting human connection in care

Speech pathologist and AI educator Shae Rodgers discusses how AI can reduce the invisible admin load that consumes 30-50% of clinicians' working week, freeing capacity for human connection. The article covers AI literacy foundations, ethical use in allied health, how AI is transforming AAC for neurodivergent communicators, and what questions families should ask when AI enters their child's care. The core message: technology works best when it supports the background, leaving clinicians fully present for the human parts of care that cannot be automated.
