Summary

In this office hours episode, Sue Doyle, PhD, OTR/L, focuses on how to actually find and connect with the people in your community who can send you ideal home modification clients. She walks through potential referral sources, how to frame your unique OT value, and simple, relationship-based steps to start building a steady stream of home mods referrals.

Questions answered in this episode:

Who are the key professionals, agencies, and organizations that are already seeing your ideal home mods clients before you, and how can you identify them in your own community?

How do you clearly communicate the unique value of OT-led home assessments—beyond ADA checklists and contractor recommendations—so referral partners understand why they should send clients to you?

What concrete steps can you take to nurture referral relationships over time (multiple “touches,” education, and follow-up) without feeling like a full-time salesperson?
