Feeling “too young” to start a private practice? My guest today is proof that success in private practice is doable for anyone thinking about it!

Today I’m talking with Aurora Baraiolo, SLP and founder of Aurora B's Communication Device Evaluations & SLP Services. Since joining the Start Your Private Practice program in August 2024, Aurora has built a robust caseload while balancing her doctoral studies and growing her AAC-focused private practice that serves both Rhode Island and Massachusetts.

The best part is, Aurora only works three and a half days each week! She is doing what she loves, earning a great income, and finding time for rest and recharging her batteries.

In this episode, Aurora shares the steps she took to start her private practice, how she grew her caseload, and how private practice has given her the flexibility she’s always dreamed of.

Aurora Baraiolo is from Massachusetts. She attended Emerson College for graduate school and completed her clinical fellowship in a well-known pediatric outpatient center. After about a year and a half, Aurora was exhausted from the setting and decided to do travel therapy for about another year or so. Upon starting her clinical doctorate, she decided it was time to come home and focus on her long-term goal of having her own practice. She started her private practice journey at the end of August 2024, and in just 6 months, has generated a full caseload seeing her preferred population!

Aurora is passionate about AAC and getting students devices that best fit their needs. Taking her career into her own hands was the best decision she could have made and she is grateful for she did!

In Today's Episode, We Discuss:

  • How Aurora filled her caseload lightning fast
  • Learning about the business side of private practice
  • The reality of balancing entrepreneurship and academia
  • Why she left traditional roles to serve a much-needed niche in ASC
  • How she helps fellow generalist SLPs feel more empowered with their ASC clients

The kind of success and balance Aurora has found is what so many people are craving. I hope her story inspires you to take the leap and see how that success in private practice is possible for you too!
