Private occupational therapists help children and adults manage everyday tasks, such as handwriting, dressing, sensory needs or getting back to work after an injury. They visit homes, schools and workplaces, and usually charge for an initial assessment, a written report and then regular sessions or blocks of sessions. Families often pay themselves, and some therapists also bill schools or employers. A payments app that handles assessment fees, report payments and session blocks can win private occupational therapists, and every family who pays them sees your app.

Take the assessment fee up front

Sell blocks of sessions
A link for a block of sessions lets families pay once for regular therapy, and a separate link can go to a school or employer when they are paying.
Grow through therapy and care professionals
Occupational therapists often work alongside speech and language therapists, physiotherapists and counsellors who support the same families. When those professionals take payments through your app, each therapist can bring more of them onto it.
