Do you want to start a private SLP practice but aren't sure where to begin?
Have you looked into starting a practice but gave up after drowning in the information overload?
Do you wish you had a step-by-step guide and someone to answer all of your questions?
This is the course for you! I created this course to guide you through the process of starting a private speech therapy practice, from how to set up your business structure, to choosing a fair rate, to marketing and HIPAA compliance. I guide you each step of the way through starting your private SLP practice with
- Over 4.5 hours of video broken up into bite-sized modules ($520 value)
- Each module contains user-friendly handouts and links to useful resources and websites (saving you time, and $200 value)
- Email access to me for questions (like having a personal consultant- $900 value)
- Membership in a closed Facebook group where you can network, ask questions, and participate in Facebook Live giveaways and consults ($400 value)
- Regular emails with discounts, resources, and links to make your private practice life easier ($300 value)
- All for a ONE-TIME price!
Since this is an online course, you can access it immediately and follow along at your own pace. There is no time limit- and best of all, you get ASHA CMH's for completing it!
It is perfect for SLP's looking to start a part-time or full-time practice, with pediatrics or adults, in the medical or non-medical setting!
"Owning and operating a private practice is a lot of work. There isn't a short-cut to success, but this course helps get you there faster and with fewer detours. You save a lot of time and energy! Jill is extremely well informed and frequently updates content to meet users needs. The course is even visually appealing, and the Facebook group is a great way to connect with other professionals. Even a few years into the game, I learned a lot of helpful info"

"I have been so impressed with how this course is both comprehensive and yet still easy to follow. Jill's course answers all my questions and has answered questions I wouldn't have even known to ask! I highly recommend Private Practice Prep School to any SLP with an interest in private practice - group or solo."
- Emily W, MS, CCC-SLP
"I have been in private practice for 14 years and realized I needed more up to date information regarding insurances, HIPAA, EMRs, and telehealth. I wish this information was available to me when I first started! I had to find all the answers myself and it was not only time consuming, but often extremely frustrating. Jill Shook did a wonderful job compiling all of the details for anyone interested in starting his/her own practice. You will be hard pressed to find anything as comprehensive as the information presented through Private Practice Academy. After going through the courses, I immediately implemented changes to update my private practice.
I highly recommend Private Practice Academy for SLPs who are interested in private practice. It was a fantastic refresher course, even as a well-seasoned SLP in private practice. Thank you, Jill, for taking the time and energy to compile comprehensive, up to date information for our field!"

Your Instructor
Hi! I'm Jill Shook, an ASHA-certified SLP and owner of Jill Shook Therapy LLC. I also create resources for school- based and private practice SLPs on TeachersPayTeachers.
I opened my practice while also working a full-time school job and part time in Early Intervention, so I know how busy things can get! In the beginning, I spent hours and hours researching everything from the best website host and HIPAA-compliant email provider, to the best printer and paper cutter for my home office!
What makes me qualified to teach this course?
I'm glad you asked! Over the past few years, I have helped some of my SLP friends start their own practices, and I noticed trends in their questions- and that everyone was overwhelmed! There's so much information out there, and trying to keep it all straight can be impossible! I've done the research into every area of starting and maintaining a private practice, and I successfully run my practice while staying home with my young daughter and creating resources for TeachersPayTeachers. I personally handle all aspects of my business, from website design to paperwork to taxes, so I know from experience what works and what doesn't!
I created this course to help other SLPs take the leap into private practice without wasting valuable time reinventing the wheel!
What can you expect from this course?
My goal for this course is to give you the tools and confidence that you need to take the leap into private practice! Whether you want to start seeing a few private clients on the side, or create a full-time practice, I am here to cut through the information overload and help you quickly and legally realize your dreams!
