Related Services
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.
Elementary School Integration
These classes for students in grades 1st-5th focus on essential skills like:
- verbal communication, including clarity, tone, and volume;
- active listening to understand perspective and being able to respond appropriately;
- interpersonal skills, including empathy and conflict resolution;
- fine motor skills to increase dexterity and coordination;
- gross motor skills to support balance, coordination, and body awareness;
- and social skills to facilitate social interactions, sharing, and cooperating in group settings.
Individual Appointments or Group Sessions
In addition to class instruction, both speech/language and occupational therapy services can be individually contracted for 1:1 or small group sessions by enrolled families. McLean Speech & Language and the Occupational Therapy provider collaborate with our academic team to coordinate a suitable time for students to schedule their sessions.
McLean Speech & Language
is a full-service, private speech practice in Northern Virginia.
