Hi, I’m Shae Rodgers
Communication is connection.
- Neurodivergent Speech Pathologist
- AAC Consultant
- AI Educator
- Mentor & Speaker
I support personalised AAC assessment and implementation, and help speech pathologists build their skills through mentoring, training and practical AI education.
The person behind the practice
Grounded in practice.
Open to possibility.
My work brings together two interests: helping people communicate in ways that work for them, and helping clinicians feel more confident in their practice.
I’ve worked in paediatric speech pathology with complex communicators and AAC users, alongside the experience of running a private practice for 18 years. Today, I bring that clinical perspective to Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) and assistive technology support, mentoring and practical AI education.
As a neurodivergent speech pathologist, I value different ways of communicating, thinking and learning. My approach is strengths-based, neuroaffirming and shaped around the person.
Where clinical practice meets curiosity
Technology with people at its heart.
I created Speech Pathology Resources, the Speech Pathologist’s AI Toolkit and the Speech Pathology AI Tool Library to help clinicians find practical ways forward.
I’m interested in how technology can support our work while keeping clinical judgement, autonomy and human connection central. There’s room to be curious and ask careful questions at the same time.

The person comes first.
Communication supports should reflect someone’s preferences, identity, interests and everyday life.
Learning is a partnership.
We make room for questions, think things through together and connect ideas to your context.
Practical matters.
Useful next steps beat more overwhelm. The aim is to find an approach you can put into practice.
