Therapy Sessions
Oak Therapy LLC is a play and movement-based therapeutic clinic, during our sessions you can expect your child to enjoy a variety of multisensory experiences. We do not require children to stay seated during sessions as we firmly believe children learn best when exploring, actively engaging with others, and feeling safe. Your clinician will build an online group chat for parents and clinicians to share strategies, send schedules and constantly communicate to better support your child.

FAQ
Can I join my child's therapy sessions?
- Yes, parents are welcome to join sessions as long as the child is not distracted. Parents will be encouraged to actively participate in sessions and the SLP team will coach parents on strategies to actively promote communication and feeding skills. OAK Therapy LLC clinicians reserve the right to ask parents to leave sessions should your child become distracted or parents interrupt the session dynamic. Parents are always invited to watch live via Zoom. Please let your clinician know if you would like to watch online.

What is the frequency and duration of each therapy session?
- Session frequency (1-5 times per week) and duration (30-90 minutes) vary depending on your child’s unique learning style and needs.
