Otherwise, please complete the form below to join the waiting list for our next Telepractice U: The Business of Telepractice training.
Since March 2020, many SLPs have been providing services in schools via telepractice. In fact, according to an October 2020 ASHA survey, 91.5% of SLPs surveyed reported that they provided telepractice services in schools-- compared to 5.1% prior to the COVID-19 pandemic (ASHA, 2020). If you are a telepractice SLP, maybe you are an employee or independent contractor for a company that serves schools nationwide. Or perhaps you've decided to start your own telepractice business and want to scale your business by contracting with schools or getting credentialed with insurance companies.
Whether you want to have a part-time or full-time private practice is totally up to you! This training will give you the tools you need so you don't have to spend hours of your time searching for information, only to still wonder if you are doing everything right.
If you are looking to start or grow your telepractice business, we will show you how to get school contracts and credentialed with insurance companies, among other ideas for successfully marketing your telepractice business.
This three-week training will allow you to work on different parts of your practice each week. Just think about it-- in less than a month, you could have your ideal telepractice business!
After completing this program, you will be invited to join our community and receive continued support in our exclusive
