A school psychologist uses an AI tool to help draft a student’s evaluation report.

Was that a FERPA issue? What data was shared with the AI platform’s servers? Who owns that output?

A licensed clinician runs session notes through ChatGPT to improve clarity before filing.

What are the HIPAA implications? Did the client consent to this? Is the AI tool a covered entity?

AI Is Already in Your Practice. Is Your Use of It Defensible?

AI tools are being used in schools and clinical settings right now — to assist with evaluation reports, session documentation, family communications, and more. Most professionals using these tools are doing so without a framework for what’s compliant, what’s risky, and what could put their license or their clients at risk. This isn’t about being anti-technology. It’s about being professionally responsible.

After This Course, You Will Be Able To

Explain

✓ Explain AI use transparently to clients, families, and colleagues using documentation-ready language

Identify

✓ Identify low-risk vs. high-risk AI use cases in educational and clinical environments

Set

✓ Set clear professional boundaries around what AI can and cannot do in your role

Plain Language, Real Application

You don't need an engineering degree to use AI responsibly. Every concept in this course is explained in plain language and tied directly to decisions you already make in classrooms, assessments, and clinical sessions.

Grounded in the Laws That Govern Your Practice

FERPA. HIPAA. HITECH.  This course doesn't offer generic AI law & ethics;  it connects every tool, workflow, and decision directly to the legal and professional standards you are already accountable to.

Built for Your Settings, Not a Generic Audience

Whether you work in a K–12 school, a private practice, or a clinical agency, this course addresses your specific compliance risks, your client populations, and the real scenarios you face every day.

Built Specifically for Helping Professionals — Not Tech Experts

Hi, I’m Juni. I’ll be guiding you through this program as we explore what artificial intelligence means for educators, school psychologists, and mental health professionals. My role is to help make AI understandable, practical, and relevant to the real decisions you make in classrooms, assessments, counseling, and professional practice.
