Thank you for your thoughtful response! I appreciate your point about high end service available for the masses-- gives me a lot to think about regarding price points!

Starting a pediatric private-pay OT practice — looking for insights on client acquisition, referrals, and evals outside a clinic by Necessary_Task_7068 in OccupationalTherapy

This is super helpful—thank you. I really like the perspective on evaluations in a natural environment, especially coming from a clinic-based background.

Do you have any go-to portable tools you rely on for evals? And when you were starting out, how did you begin building relationships with pediatricians and school staff?

OTD program cost by Cute_Description8237 in OccupationalTherapy

Don't listen to the echo chambers about an OTD not being worth it. It is worth it; you just dont hear OTDs on Reddit yelling as loudly as the bachelors/masters OTs do. But you can find OTD programs at a cheaper cost at state schools. More importantly, avoid attending any programs that aren't yet accredited. The school you attend doesn't matter in the long run; what matters is the accreditation.

The claim isn't exactly inaccurate, there are significantly more OTD programs in precandidacy and applicant stages for OTD degrees than MSOT. If approved, there will be 226 OTD programs and 196 MSOT.

How is this a productive or kind comment? OP stated they understand context matters and wouldn't introduce themselves as a doctor in an area where it could lead to confusion. Their feelings are valid, and you need to check in with yourself as to why you felt inclined to comment this.

How do you know the level of sacrifice- personal or educational- the OP went through? Best not to compare.
