My trailblazing guest duo this week are the founding directors of Therapy Connect, Sue Cameron and Simone Dudley. Sue Cameron a Speech Therapist and Simone Dudley an Occupational Therapist met online. They are both located in rural, Australian communities, married to farmers and share a passion for providing therapy to those that aren’t able to access it as easily as those in metro areas.
Therapy connect was born from this passion and is now a thriving telepractice providing teletherapy to those in rural communities within Australia and offshore. Their truly unique business model, their innovative natures and drive for continuous learning and improvement is sure to inspire!
Sue and Simone also share with me:

- What they are working on and where they are working from
- The different requirements for teletherapy and how it all works

- The time it takes to adapt what they would do in a face to face session to a telepractice setting
- The different online resources they are finding to assist them with telepractice and how this is shaping their business
