etc.

I am currently working in this role: Check this box
Start date: Month you joined Saltroad
End current position as of now: Leave this unchecked unless Saltroad is your sole source of work. Checking this box will tell LinkedIn that you have finished whatever is listed as your current role.
Description: You can enter whatever you want here to describe what you do at Saltroad, but if you want something to start with and edit, feel free to use the text below:
I provide my online / face-to-face Speech and Language Therapy services to families via Saltroad.com
Saltroad matches families with experienced, HCPC registered Speech and Language Therapists, based on their needs, budget and schedule.
Profile headline: This is your main headline on LinkedIn (which displays below your name), so you probably don't need to change this (but up to you).
Skills: We recommend; 'Speech Therapy' & 'Teletherapy' (if you offer an online service) as pre-existing LinkedIn options. You can also enter any specialisms or other skills as necessary (LinkedIn allows you to create your own if they don't exist already)
Note: If you have multiple active, overlapping 'positions' you may want / need to reorder how they appear in your Experience section so your main role remains at the top.
LinkedIn has a support article on how to do that here: https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/a786867/reorder-current-positions-in-experience-section
