Talia Schuss, OTR/L
Founder and CEO
Talia Schuss is an occupational therapist, wife, and mother. Talia has been working with children with Autism for her entire OT career. She has worked in almost every pediatric setting from public school, to outpatient clinic, to telehealth. Most recently, the world of telehealth has enabled her to reach children in different parts of the country while they sit comfortably in their homes. In her work with children and their families she has seen first-hand, the difficulties that parents experience in accessing high-quality ABA services for their child. Parents put their lives on hold, traveling hours round-trip in order to get their child the support they need. The goal of Latitude Therapy is to utilize the telehealth model to make ABA services accessible to families no matter where they live. No child should miss out on the therapy they need due to long waiting lists or long commutes. Latitude Therapy makes therapy ACCESSIBLE.

Her main responsibilities included new and ongoing relationships with physician and referring provider sources throughout the state of Indiana and Kentucky. She went on to hold the role of Director of Operations in which she was responsible for maintaining new and ongoing relationships with referral sources, workflow implementation, family onboarding process, and reporting/tracking of key metrics and outcomes for the organization. In April 2023, Brooke took on the role of Vice President, Business Development at UNIFI Autism Care. Brooke focused on physician and referral base relationships, as well as community outreach with fellow healthcare partners & systems. She also oversaw and managed the family and patient journey as they navigated through their healthcare and enrollment process. In addition, she was pivotal in market research strategies and operational launch of new markets. In collaboration with the Chief Growth Officer, Brooke developed and executed key metrics and reporting for UNIFI to identify trends, forecasting, and overall health of the organization.
