>>GERRY: A HUGE GAP IN CARE IS
INSPIRING AN ENTREPRENEUR IN
LAFAYETTE TO OPEN A SPEECH
CLINIC FOCUSED ON KIDS.

2
00:00:04.237 --> 00:00:09.943
TRENT TERRY CAME FACE-TO-FACE
WITH THE UNMET NEED WHEN HE
STRUGGLED TO FIND SPEECH THERAPY
FOR HIS YOUNG DAUGHTER.

00:00:09.943 --> 00:00:18.118
BUSINESS OF HEALTH REPORTER
KYLIE VELETA...
>>KYLIE: TERRY LAUNCHED THERAPY
SOLUTIONS ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO

4
00:00:18.118 --> 00:00:24.190
WITH JUST TWO THERAPISTS, AND
THE SMALL COMPANY HAS NOW GROWN
TO MORE THAN A DOZEN THERAPISTS
ON STAFF AND NEARLY 40

5
00:00:24.190 --> 00:00:29.963
INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS
THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
AND DEMAND CONTINUES TO
CLIMB...THERAPY SOLUTIONS IS

6
00:00:29.963 --> 00:00:37.070
REFERRED ABOUT 50 KIDS PER WEEK.
THE SMALL COMPANY RELIED ON
SCHOOL SPACE AND HOME VISITS FOR
THERAPY SESSIONS, BUT IS NOW

7
00:00:37.070 --> 00:00:42.709
OPENING ITS FIRST CLINIC IN
LAFAYETTE TO TREAT MORE KIDS.
TRENT TERRY JOINS ME NOW TO TELL
US MORE ABOUT HIS VISION FOR THE

8
00:00:42.709 --> 00:00:51.017
NEW CLINIC.
THANKS FOR BEING ON THE SHOW
TODAY.
>>: THANK YOU.

9
00:00:51.017 --> 00:00:57.190
GLAD TO BE HERE.
>>: LET'S TALK ABOUT FIRST OF
ALL HOW YOUR COMPANY GOT ITS
START AND A LOT OF EARLY GROWTH

10
00:00:57.190 --> 00:01:07.634
YOU'VE BEEN SEEING.
>>: IT'S VERY EXCITING SO MY
DAUGHTER WAS BORN IN 2017 AND
SHE NEEDED EARLY INTERVENTION

11
00:01:07.634 --> 00:01:16.443
THERAPY WHEN SHE WAS ABOUT A
YEAR OLD AND I CALLED AROUND AND
UNFORTUNATELY IT WAS MET WITH A
LOT OF WEIGHT LISTS OR DELAYS IN

12
00:01:16.443 --> 00:01:26.186
ORDER TO GET HER THE TREATMENT
SHE NEEDED WHICH AS A PARENT YOU
CAN IMAGINE IS VERY FRUSTRATING.
SO FORTUNATELY MY NOW BUSINESS

13
00:01:26.186 --> 00:01:34.060
PARTNER MINDY LIVES JUST DOWN
THE STREET AND SHE'S A SPEECH
PATHOLOGIST SO I REACHED OUT TO
HER AND PROVIDING THERAPY

14
00:01:34.060 --> 00:01:39.165
PRIVATELY WHICH SHE WAS GRACIOUS
AND DID SO AND NOW MY DAUGHTER
IS GREAT.
THE THERAPY WORKED ABOUT BUT

15
00:01:39.165 --> 00:01:47.240
THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF THAT
MINDY AND I GOT TO TALKING AND
DECIDED THAT I HAD A BUSINESS
BACKGROUND AND PREVIOUSLY OWNED

16
00:01:47.240 --> 00:01:57.217
OTHER BUSINESSES AND SHE BEING A
THERAPIST WAS READY TO TAKE THE
NEXT STEP SO WE PARTNERED AND
FORMED THERAPY SOLUTIONS AND WE

17
00:01:57.217 --> 00:02:04.624
ARE SERVING CHILDREN ACROSS THE
STATE SO IT'S A GOOD FEELING.
>>: A GREAT BUSINESS STORY AND
YOU NOTICE THE GAP IN CARE FOR

18
00:02:04.624 --> 00:02:13.933
KIDS BETWEEN THE AGES OF THREE
AND FIVE.
EXPLAIN HOW THAT HELPED EXPOSE A
NEED TO HAVE AN ACTUAL CLINIC IN

19
00:02:13.933 --> 00:02:23.209
LAFAYETTE.
>>: IT REALLY DID SO WE STARTED
OUR COMPANY WORKING DIRECTLY
WITH SCHOOLS K-12 AND WE WANTED

20
00:02:23.209 --> 00:02:37.290
TO HAVE A MODEL WHERE WE COULD
FINISH GRADUATION WITH THE SAME
THERAPIST IN SOME CASES SO AS
PART OF THAT WE WENT TO DO FIRST

21
00:02:37.290 --> 00:02:51.804
STEPS AND WE STARTED THAT ABOUT
TWO YEARS AGO AND WE NOTICED WE
WERE NOT MEETING OUR GOAL OF
GRADUATION FOR PROVIDING

22
00:02:51.804 --> 00:03:00.813
SERVICES AND WE STARTED TALKING
WITH PARENTS AND SAID WHERE DO
WE GO ONCE THEY REACH THREE AND
CAN'T HAVE EARLY INTERVENTION

23
00:03:00.813 --> 00:03:08.821
SERVICES AND WE FOUND OURSELVES
REFERRING TO OTHER PLACES THAT
HAD WAITLIST AND THINGS LIKE
THAT SO WE DECIDED WE COULD FILL

24
00:03:08.821 --> 00:03:15.895
THAT NEED AND PURCHASED A
BUILDING AND OPENED A PRIVATE
CLINIC.
>>: WE MENTIONED YOU HAVE

25
00:03:15.895 --> 00:03:23.202
CONTRACTORS THROUGHOUT THE STATE
SO YOU ARE DOING WORK EVEN
OUTSIDE OF LAFAYETTE TO MEET
THAT STATEWIDE DEMAND, BUT YOU

26
00:03:23.202 --> 00:03:30.410
ARE HOPEFUL THE FIRST CLINIC IN
LAFAYETTE COULD OPEN THE DOOR TO
OTHER CLINICS.
TELL ME A LITTLE ABOUT THAT.

27
00:03:30.410 --> 00:03:35.848
>>: SURE.
WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT THE
POTENTIAL OF GROWTH FOR THE NEXT
FEW YEARS AND COMMITTED TO THE

28
00:03:35.848 --> 00:03:41.821
STATE OF INDIANA AND THE
CHILDREN OF THE STATE AND THAT'S
OUR FOCUS.
WE DON'T EVEN HAVE THE DOORS

29
00:03:41.821 --> 00:03:48.595
OPEN ON THE FIRST CLINIC AND
WE'VE HAD REQUESTS FROM OTHER
CITIES AND PARENTS TO OPEN
CLINICS IN THEIR AREA SO THE

30
00:03:48.595 --> 00:03:58.771
NEED IS CLEARLY THERE WE JUST
HAVE TO MAKE SURE WE ARE SMART
ABOUT HOW WE DO THIS AND WE ARE
VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE POTENTIAL

31
00:03:58.771 --> 00:04:08.214
TO SERVE THE AREAS IN OUR STATE.
>>: WE ARE HOPING THIS CAN BE A
MODEL FOR FUTURE CLINICS.
>>: YOUR COMPANY PRIDES ITSELF

32
00:04:08.214 --> 00:04:16.189
ON PROVIDING REALLY PERSONALIZED
THERAPY AND REALLY
INDIVIDUALIZED FOR EACH PATIENT.
TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT.

33
00:04:16.189 --> 00:04:23.663
>>: SURE SO OUR COMPANY EXIST
TO SERVE PARENTS AND CHILDREN
AND SOMETHING THAT WE REALLY
TALK TO OUR THERAPISTS ABOUT IS

34
00:04:23.663 --> 00:04:32.005
WE ARE NOT JUST DOING THE JOB WE
ARE HELPING A CHILD FOR THE REST
OF THEIR LIFE AND THE WORK WE DO
HAS A DIRECT IMPACT ON THEIR

35
00:04:32.005 --> 00:04:39.512
QUALITY OF LIFE FOR MANY YEARS
TO COME SO WE TAKE THAT
SERIOUSLY AND ONE THING WE DO
FROM A QUALITY CONTROL

36
00:04:39.512 --> 00:04:49.389
STANDPOINT IS TAKE SAMPLINGS AND
SAY HOW IS IT GOING AND ARE YOU
HAPPY AND WE GET GOOD FEEDBACK
THAT WAY AND ANOTHER THING WE

37
00:04:49.389 --> 00:04:57.764
STARTED AT THE HEIGHT OF THE
PANDEMIC WAS A PARENT'S COUNSEL
SO THAT CONSISTED OF A GROUP OF
PARENTS THAT WERE TRANSITIONING

38
00:04:57.764 --> 00:05:11.778
TO OTHER THERAPY AND HAD A LOT
OF CONCERNS ABOUT THAT AND IT
WAS MYSELF AS THE CEO AND THE
OTHER OWNER THAT HEADED UP THAT

39
00:05:11.778 --> 00:05:17.950
COUNCIL AND ALLOWED THEM DIRECT
ACCESS TO PARENTS TO
DECISION-MAKERS OF THE COMPANY
AND WE LEARNED A LOT FROM THAT

40
00:05:17.950 --> 00:05:29.162
AND PARENTS LOVED IT AND OFFERED
US A LOT OF SUGGESTIONS AND THEN
IT ALSO ENDED UP BEING A COHORT
WITH PARENTS THAT WE WOULD

41
00:05:29.162 --> 00:05:34.901
E-MAIL EACH OTHER WHICH
QUESTIONS AND THINGS OF THAT SO
IT'S A UNIQUE CONCEPT THAT TOOK
OFF.

42
00:05:34.901 --> 00:05:37.704
>>: I KNOW YOU'RE CLINIC IS
LOOKING FORWARD TO OPENING ITS
