The Wild Life of Private Practice with Laura Sufka

Jessica Lewin, CCLS Season 1 Episode 11

Certified Child Life Specialist, Jessica Lewin, talks with friend, Laura Sufka, CCLS, about forming and creating her child life private practice from the ground up. While Laura is still in the "infancy" stage of creating her private practice (she started 4 months ago), she still has a lot of wisdom to share such as what things to consider prior to starting, how long it took for her to cook up this idea, important realizations to have about yourself and your scope of practice and more.

Laura and I briefly touched on the topic of when you can move into private practice as supported by the ACLP. Here are the links where we gathered our information regarding the amount of hours and requirements needed prior to seeking out work in the community:
