Johanna Atkinson
Licensed Speech-Language Pathologist-Clinical Fellow
Johanna was a speech assistant for five years before becoming a speech pathologist. She arrived in this field by doing accents in theatrical performances, then majoring in linguistics, and working with children. Bilingual education is one of her passions. She is also an artist who uses her creativity to make new teaching materials. In her work with children and adults, she uses project-based learning to meet people where they’re at and incorporate their interests and learning styles into speech/language therapy.
