I used to think questioning myself meant I wasn’t a knowledgeable or good enough clinician.

Turns out, it’s the opposite.

The SLPs who ask “wait, is this actually the best approach?” are usually the ones providing the best care.

Second-guessing isn’t a red flag. Some of the best clinical decisions come from pausing mid-session and asking:

Is this still working?

Does the research actually support what I’m doing?

Is there a better way to do this?

That’s not a lack of confidence. That’s clinical reasoning in action.

Speech-language pathology isn’t static. The research evolves, our clients evolve, and honestly, we should too. Whether you’re a school SLP, a medical SLP, working in private practice, or you’re a CF still finding your footing, questioning your practice means you care enough to keep growing.

This is exactly why we built Tassel. Not just for ASHA CEUs, but for the kind of continuing education that actually changes how you think and gives you clarity you can use in your very next evaluation or therapy session.

If you’ve ever second-guessed a treatment approach, a goal, or a strategy... you’re not behind. You’re paying attention.

AI can be convincing. Really convincing.

It can give you a beautifully written answer, cite research, explain its reasoning, and sound completely confident while doing it.

And that’s exactly why AI literacy matters for SLPs.

Before you copy, paste, and put an AI-generated answer into practice, ask yourself: Where did this information come from? Can I verify it? Does the research actually say what AI says it does? And does it make sense for the person in front of me?

AI can be an incredible tool for speech-language pathologists — but it doesn’t replace clinical judgment, evidence-based practice, or your responsibility to evaluate the information it gives you.

At Tassel, we’re excited about what AI can do for SLPs. We just want clinicians to know how to use it well.

Use AI. Question AI. Verify AI.

Save this one for the next time ChatGPT gives you an answer that seems a little too good to be true.

AI is going to show up in your school year whether you feel ready for it or not.

In documentation. Therapy planning. Language samples. Communication. New tools your district starts using. And probably in ways we haven’t even thought of yet.

So instead of pretending it isn’t happening, we think SLPs should understand how to use it well.

How can it actually save you time?
What tasks can it help with?
What information should you NEVER put into an AI tool?

And how do you know when an AI-generated answer is actually trustworthy?
Because being “good at AI” isn’t “THE BEST prompt”.
It’s knowing when these tools can make your job easier and when your own clinical judgment needs to take the lead.

This school year, we’re digging into the research, sharing practical ways SLPs can use AI, and talking about the privacy and ethical questions we all need to understand along the way.

AI is changing quickly. We want SLPs to feel prepared to change with it.

📌 Save this series for the school year and send it to an SLP who’s still figuring out where AI fits into their practice.

💬 How are you feeling about using AI this school year: excited, skeptical, overwhelmed… or somewhere in between?

Childhood Apraxia of Speech is one of the most complex disorders many of us treat, and the research shows many SLPs don’t leave graduate school feeling prepared to assess or treat it.

But you don’t have to figure CAS out on your own. That’s exactly why we designed the 9 Childhood Apraxia of Speech courses we have on Tassel. To help you move from feeling uncertain to feeling confident with assessment, treatment, AAC implementation, and practical clinical strategies you can start using with your students.

Because every child with CAS deserves an SLP who feels prepared and every SLP deserves to feel confident supporting them.

I want to be careful sharing this story because the point isn’t to shame another professional or assume we know exactly how AI was used.

But finding the words “ChatGPT said...” inside my nephew’s finalized IEP stopped me in my tracks.

As both an SLP and a family member, my mind immediately started racing. What information was entered into the AI tool? Were student identifiers removed?

Was AI simply helping draft language, or was more information shared?

The truth is... I don’t know.

And that’s exactly why I wanted to share this. Research is showing incredible potential for AI in speech-language pathology. It may help reduce documentation time, support transcription, organize information, and reduce administrative burden (Georgiou, 2025).

I genuinely believe that’s a good thing.

Every minute AI saves is another minute we can spend thinking critically, collaborating with families, and supporting our students instead of sitting behind our computers.

But this experience reminded me that AI literacy isn’t just learning how to write better prompts.

It’s understanding privacy.
It’s understanding ethical use.

It’s knowing what information should and shouldn’t be entered into an AI tool.

And it’s remembering that no matter how helpful AI becomes, our clinical judgment and the trust families place in us never change.

One idea from Benway & Preston (2025) really stuck with me: AI can support clinical judgment, but it cannot replace the clinician’s responsibility for the decisions they make.

It’s exciting to see where AI is taking speech-language pathology. But we have a responsibility to grow our AI literacy alongside it.

đź’¬ As AI becomes more common in speech-language pathology, where do you think the line is between using AI to improve our workflow and protecting our professional judgment?
