## Resource

In this solo episode, Cathy Love speaks directly to Allied Health Business Owners who are feeling the weight of uncertainty around Thriving Kids and the broader reforms reshaping early childhood intervention. Rather than offering predictions or a policy explainer, Cathy focuses on the business mindset and practical leadership required when the system is still forming. Cathy explores the structural nature of the changes ahead, including revenue exposure, referral concentration, evolving decision-makers, and the danger of slipping into “wait and see” mode. She challenges owners to get clearer on their numbers, assess risk honestly, strengthen key relationships, and make deliberate choices that protect both current viability and future relevance. Topics covered on Thriving Kids, business risks and strategic response : Revenue and referral exposure – Cathy examines where Allied Health Business Owners may be most exposed, from early intervention funding shifts to referral concentration and cohort risk. Business risks – She unpacks the signals already on the table and why smart providers need to think ahead about future access pathways, partnerships and relevance. Why delay is not strategic – Cathy challenges the “wait and see” mindset and explains why clearer numbers, better thinking and timely action matter now.
