Have you ever thought about seeing clients privately? Whether you want to just see one client or want a multi-office practice, here are four reasons to start seeing speech therapy clients privately.
1) You can set your own schedule
When you’re in the driver’s seat, you have the flexibility to set your own schedule. Whether you want to see clients after your day job, on the weekends, or during certain hours to fit around other personal or family obligations, you have the ability to set your own schedule.
2) You can select your caseload
You have the ability to serve clients who have the concerns or the age range that you prefer. When you start seeing clients, you can decide to work with the types of clients you want to see. Do you enjoy working with individuals who stutter? Do you want to focus on foreign accent reduction? Do you want to work provide services to clients with autism?
3) You can determine your own rate
When you’re seeing your own private clients, you are able to set your own rates based on your experience and expertise.
4) You can take insurance clients or not
You get to determine if you would like to accept private insurance or Medicaid clients. When you’re in a hospital or a school setting, these clients often require additional paperwork. In private practice, if you want to take this on, then go for it. If not, then that’s you’re decision.
Now, it’s time to start seeing speech therapy clients privately!
