#275: AAC, AI and Speech Pathology with Dr. Nerissa Hall & Dr. Michelle Boisvert
Episode 275
Tuesday, 7 April, 2026
Ever feel intimidated by AAC or unsure how AI fits into your clinical work?In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Nerissa Hall and Dr. Michelle Boisvert to talk about two topics that can feel overwhelming but are full of possibility. We explore how AAC is not about waiting for prerequisites, but about giving individuals access to meaningful, independent communication. I share my own experience of feeling intimidated at first, and we break down simple, practical ways to get started that actually feel doable and even fun.We also dive into AI in speech pathology, and this conversation gave me so much clarity. We talk about how AI can help us “offload” tasks like creating materials, while still keeping our clinical judgment front and center. We discuss where AI fits, where it doesn’t, and how to use it ethically and thoughtfully in your everyday work. If you’ve been curious but hesitant, this episode will help you take that first step with confidence.#autism #speechtherapyWhat’s Inside:AAC misconceptions and mindset shifts that support autonomyEasy, practical ways to begin AAC implementationHow AI can support clinicians without replacing expertiseEthical considerations and simple ways to start using AIMentioned In This Episode:Easy Report ProTate BehavioralAAC CommunicareEarn CEUs with a community of peers.
