Oaknine Healthcare comprehensive pediatric therapy services

At Oaknine Healthcare, we strive to make therapy simple, effective, and easy to access.

By coming directly to the home, we help families avoid travel time, long waitlists, and the stress of fitting appointments into busy days. Sessions take place in familiar spaces, where children often feel more comfortable and can practice skills that naturally carry into daily life.

Our team offers comprehensive pediatric therapy services, including Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Speech-Language Pathology, Social Work, and Psychotherapy. Each service is tailored to your child’s needs and your family’s goals.

OT, SLP, Social Work / Psychotherapy, and LOR services are eligible for OAP funding.
All services may be covered by private health insurance plans.

Occupational Therapy

Whether it’s learning to tie shoelaces, regulate emotions, hold a pencil, or build other daily life skills, OT aims to help children grow more confident and independent at home, school, and in the everyday activities that matter the most to them.

Physical Therapy

PT strives to help kids feel strong and capable — from building balance, strength, and coordination to playing with friends on the playground, riding a bike, or mastering everyday movements with confidence.

Speech-Language Pathology

SLP helps children find their voice — whether through clearer speech, stronger language skills, or alternative communication methods — giving kids the tools they need to connect with others and express themselves.

Social Work / Psychotherapy

Therapy offers kids (and parents) a safe space to manage big feelings, navigate friendships, and develop coping tools, while also providing guidance with school advocacy, IEPs, accommodations, and system navigation.
