October Home Modification SIS Meeting
Learning Outcomes:
- Identify and reframe common internal and external barriers to starting or growing an OT practice, including mindset challenges, financial concerns, and system limitations.
- Explore practical tools, strategies, and community resources that support independent practice growth in home modifications and aging-in-place services..
Tired of feeling like you need a secret password to figure out private practice? You’re not alone—and you’re not behind. In this interactive CEU session, we’ll unpack the real (and perceived) barriers that keep OTs from launching or growing their own business. Then together we’ll work on tactical strategies to get you un-stuck and growing. Whether you’re just dreaming or already doing, you’ll walk away with practical strategies, mindset shifts, and real talk from someone who’s been there. Because the truth is: there’s no single path—but there is a way forward!
