Guest: JoAnne Burns, SLP

JoAnne is an accomplished speech-language pathologist and the founder of Berns Therapy Solutions, a pediatric speech-language therapy clinic headquartered in Green Hills.  

​JoAnne’s first foray into speech-language pathology was working for a private practice where she gained experience with children of varying ages. She easily transitioned to a middle school setting though she had to make a life-altering decision to leave and focus on family. Through a combination of network, collaboration, and research, she has grown her practice with confidence.

​
The Speech & Career Center is a vision from God! It was birthed from my passion to enhance the communication skills of children and adolescents all while incorporating functional activities they engage in during their daily lives. I truly believe all children have a purpose in our world. I’m driven and motivated to ensure the individuals we work with have the communication skills they need in order to contribute to and participate in their communities.
