Andrea P. Thau, OD, FAAO, FCOVD, of Dr. Andrea P. Thau and Associates in New York City, says to generate referrals, work closely with the occupational therapists that a child may already be working with. Inquire about this at intake, then ask the parent for consent to contact the therapist. The key is to work as a team with other professionals for the good of the child. Once you establish working relationships with occupational therapists, their influential referrals to your practice will prove to be powerful patient base builder.
