We sat down with two clinical speech pathologists to hear all about the ins and outs of running your own speech pathology business! We covered the rocky road of starting your own business, the challenges faced as a clinician and business owner, and advice for young SLPs looking to work in specialty practices or open their own businesses.
We answered questions like:
- What challenges do you face as a clinician and business owner?
- Is there a definitive line or do the roles blur?
- What advice would you give to SLPs wanting to start their own business?
- What advice do you have for voice therapy?
- What therapy recommendations do you have for stroke patients?
