In this episode, we chat with Alison Hendricks, Sue Wahl, and Elizabeth Silenzi from Collaborative Approach Therapy Services (CATS). We discuss an alternative path to private practice - franchising and networking in OT business. For many occupational therapists, starting a business can feel overwhelming. But what if you didn’t have to do it alone? The CATS team shares how creating a network of collaborative practices can be a jump-start into business ownership, accelerating growth while maintaining clinical excellence and professional autonomy.
