First a Multi-Disciplinary Clinic and Now a School for Children with Disabilities with Anne Tarwater
If you feel like you’re being called to a dream that seems too big, I know this episode will inspire you to move forward!
My guest today is Anne Tarwater, an SLP of 12 years and founder of iShine Pediatric Therapy Clinic in Boerne, Texas. Anne is dedicated to creating a nurturing and supportive environment where children can grow, learn new skills, and gain independence.
I got to know Anne in the Grow Your Private Practice Program. In addition to her amazing practice, she is opening a preschool specifically designed for children with disabilities.
In this episode, Anne shares how she got into SLP, the mindset that pushes her to take real steps toward her ambitions, and how her practice and other dream projects are improving her community and family life.
Before opening her own pediatric therapy clinic, Anne spent seven years working in Boerne ISD, where she was a key member of the preschool program for children with disabilities assessment team. This experience strengthened her commitment to early intervention and the importance of family involvement in a child’s development.
Believing that every child deserves a personalized, holistic approach to learning, she co-founded The Bloom School, a child-led preschool that focuses on the whole child. Through engaging, play-based methods, she strives to make learning fun while fostering confidence, communication, and independence.
Anne has two college-aged children and 3 dogs that keep her busy in her off time.
In Today’s Episode, We Discuss:
- Annes’s original career and how she made the pivot to SLP
- What her practice looks like and what kind of clients she serves
- The inspiration behind her new project and how she got started
- How she stays organized through it all and what systems she has in place
- Anne’s advice for other single parents who want to turn their dreams into a reality
Anne is a great example of someone who took bold action to better serve her community and family. I know if she can do it, you can too!
