Course Description

Most clinicians have tested AI for generating therapy materials or IEP content, but superficial experimentation doesn’t protect your clients or your practice. This course cuts through the hype to establish what AI can and cannot do, and why your clinical judgment remains non-negotiable when reviewing AI outputs. You’ll build the foundational knowledge required to integrate AI tools strategically with the professional competence and ethical rigor your work demands.
