Workshop Overview
This two-part online workshop series will present practical strategies to vocational rehabilitation professionals to support and develop hidden skills and knowledge, seldom covered in textbooks or training courses.
This workshop series will also allow attendees to network with peers in their professional community of practice and share their own unique experiences and strategies for success.

Governance, Boundaries and Growth

Session 1 focused on the individual professional’s responsibility to make sound, defensible decisions about AI use. Session 2 moves from the individual decision to the practice systems that support ethical AI use over time.

This practical webinar helps vocational rehabilitation professionals build clear AI boundaries for their workplace or independent practice. Participants will explore how to classify information before it enters an AI tool, identify uses that should be avoided or escalated, recognize automation bias, and establish repeatable safeguards for privacy, fairness, documentation, human review, and client trust.

The session will focus on the governance questions that sit behind everyday AI use: What information should never enter an AI tool? When is an approved tool, policy review, client communication, or additional consultation required? How can practitioners avoid over-relying on confident but incomplete AI-generated output? What should be documented when AI is used in professional work?

Participants will leave with a practical “Before You Paste” Data Governance Decision Tool and a personal AI practice framework to help establish acceptable-use boundaries, review standards, escalation pathways, and ongoing learning practices.

This session is educational in nature and does not provide legal advice, clinical supervision, or case-specific vocational rehabilitation advice. Participants remain responsible for applying the VRAC Code of Ethics, applicable privacy requirements, organizational policies, contractual obligations, and professional judgment. Session 2 builds on Session 1 and focuses particularly on confidentiality, privacy, bias, assessment-related risk, technology-enabled practice, recordkeeping, competence, and ethical decision-making.

Professionals working in clinical, insurance, and legal settings are often required to produce reports that may be reviewed by insurers, legal counsel, regulatory bodies, or other decision-makers.

In these contexts, clarity, structure, and defensibility are essential.

This one-hour webinar introduces a structured approach to writing reports that withstand scrutiny. Participants will examine the elements that support defensible professional opinions and will learn a clear process for evaluating and responding to challenged reports through rebuttal.

The session is designed for clinicians and consultants who are already familiar with professional report writing and want to strengthen reasoning, transparency, and professional boundaries in higher-stakes environments.

Practical Techniques to Reduce Accuracy, Privacy and Bias Risks

Once an AI use has been determined to be appropriate, the next question is how to use the tool in a way that supports—not replaces—professional judgment.

This optional practical session helps vocational rehabilitation professionals create safer AI-assisted workflows for permitted tasks such as generic drafting, plain-language communication, research support, and reusable administrative templates. Participants will learn how to minimize unnecessary information, use fictional or appropriately de-identified examples, set clear task boundaries, request sources and limitations, and identify output that requires correction, further verification, or rejection.

The focus is not on “better prompting” for productivity alone. It is on reducing avoidable professional risk. Structured instructions can make AI output easier to review, but they do not make the information automatically accurate, authorize the use of confidential information, validate an assessment, or replace vocational rehabilitation expertise.

This session is educational in nature and does not provide legal advice, clinical supervision, or case-specific vocational rehabilitation advice. Participants remain responsible for applying the VRAC Code of Ethics, applicable privacy requirements, organizational policies, contractual obligations, and professional judgment. Session 3 builds on the ethical decision-making and governance boundaries established in Sessions 1 and 2.
