What is the overall focus of this episode on starting a home‑based private practice?
Starting a private practice isn't what it used to be. Today's clinicians are starting private practices much quicker, easier, and cheaper than before. And they aren't guessing their way through it or getting stuck in analysis paralysis, they're following a tried and true roadmap in order to save time, money, and frustration. There is no reason to reinvent the wheel or struggle to figure out how to start a private practice on your own. We've helped thousands of SLPs and OTs through this process and now we want to help you
too. For a limited time, I'm offering a free copy of our private practice roadmap, specifically for SLPs and OTs who are curious about private practice and want to see what the journey looks like. To download

Today you're going to hear one of my all-time most popular episodes, which also happens to be my very first episode, because the topic is very appealing to many future private practitioners. Kathy Hindman, who you'll meet here momentarily, started her private practice part-time and on the side of her job and from out of her house, which many SLPs are interested in doing, and in this episode we talk about what it takes to run a private practice out of your house. So stay tuned.
I'm Jenna Castro-Kasbon, speech language pathologist, business coach, and creator of the Start Your Private Practice System. And I'm on a mission to turn stuck SLPs into successful private practitioners. If you're tired of dealing with high productivity requirements, high caseload sizes, and low pay, it's time to take control of your professional, personal, and financial life and finally get the freedom, flexibility, and financial abundance that you deserve by working with private clients in your own practice. Join me here each week as I share tips, best practices, and inspirational interviews on the Private Practice Success Stories podcast. If you're a private practitioner or one in the making, you're in the right place, so let's get started.
Kathy is a new ish private practitioner. She has some experience with early intervention, right? And is now seeing some um post EI kids, I think. And she's gonna tell us all about where she is uh fairly early in the journey and to really um inspire people who are just getting started and uh she's taken those first steps and I wanna hear all about it. Kathy, before we kind of learn about where you are now, can you tell me a little bit about your professional background and what you've been doing career wise that has led you to this point?
Sure, absolutely. I have been in disabilities and impairments. From there, I went to another school district. that provided services on a contractual basis with a lot of other local school districts. So that placed me in preschool settings in some regular uh school district settings and some early intervention. And then from there I went to independent contracting exclusively with early intervention. And I've done that for a little over ten years now. Fantastic.
Good. So that probably has prepared you in a lot of ways for this
next step. Definitely, definitely. It gave me a little bit of, I feel like a head start going into some of the business end of things. Certainly with my own practice now, there's a lot of new and different business aspects that I'm learning about, but I had kind of already established myself with the LLC.
It sounds like probably doing the contract work for EI prepared you to be ready to start your own private practice. Can you tell me a little bit about that leap?
Yeah, I mean I've Through the contracting I have on occasion picked up a client here and there. So I had some familiarity with it, but I will say That was not in any way a formal kind of process. It was pretty much a little bit sort of on the fly. Um and I think that happens for a lot of people. Like someone asks them, Oh, can you start seeing this child I know, this person I know?
