Explore how 10,000 school-based speech-language pathologists (SLPs) perceive and use generative AI tools such as ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and Claude. This interactive session presents national survey findings on SLPs’ knowledge, access, comfort, district policies, and perceived impact of AI in schools.
Participants will use a dynamic data dashboard to manipulate real survey results—filtering responses by years of experience, setting, and caseload size—to uncover trends and insights relevant to their own contexts. Through guided analysis, small-group discussions, and collaborative reflection, attendees will evaluate both the benefits and risks of AI in lesson planning, IEP goal development, therapy materials, and documentation.
Grounded in data and professional reflection, this session bridges research and practice. Participants will leave with practical frameworks and resources to inform ethical, equitable, and effective AI adoption in educational settings. By amplifying practitioner voices, the session supports educators in shaping the responsible integration of generative AI to enhance communication, learning, and professional collaboration.
