At Oakwood, Speech-Language and Occupational Therapists work closely with our faculty to meet students’ needs. Two local service providers hold space in our building to offer services to students and families in need of additional support. We understand the impact of skills in these areas on elementary and middle school students' academic progress and self-esteem.
