OAKWOOD ACADEMY
Physiotherapy supports students by restoring, maintaining, and maximizing their strength, function, movement, and overall well-being. It achieves this by focusing on correct postural alignment and core strength to address underlying physical issues. This, in turn, enhances their ability to participate in daily activities at school. Good posture and central stability can help with regulation, focus, attention, and even toileting concerns (e.g., constipation, bedwetting). Goals and exercises set by the Physiotherapist are regularly implemented by our team of Developmental Therapists and Teachers.
Working in collaboration with the Occupational Therapist, our Physiotherapist supports gross motor development through the assessment and treatment of the child’s strength, range of motion, and coordination. The Physiotherapist also examines safety concerns and addresses any barriers to accessing the curriculum in the school setting.
As a physiotherapist, I work closely with students at Oakwood Academy to support their gross motor development through fun, engaging activities that are designed around each child’s unique needs. By focusing on their individual strengths, we empower students to enhance their physical abilities and build confidence in their motor skills, ensuring that every child can thrive both inside and outside the classroom.
At Oakwood Academy, we believe that every child has the potential to reach new physical milestones. We are committed to helping them get there with specialized children’s physiotherapy sessions. Tailored to your needs, we offer engaging, supportive, and carefully designed children’s physiotherapy sessions to develop strength, coordination, and confidence. We do all this in a welcoming and inclusive environment.
More than physical growth and development, our Mississauga children’s physiotherapy programs are the foundation for individuals to thrive and find encouragement on their journey, step by step.

Our child physiotherapy specialists are prepared to empower every student through success and achievements in a supportive setting.
Students have individual abilities, needs, and challenges. Special needs physiotherapy recognizes students as individuals. We tailor our special needs physiotherapy programs to meet specific physical health, emotional, and cognitive needs.
Every child enjoys a unique special needs physiotherapy experience at Oakwood Academy. We are the only school in Canada recognized for implementing the DIR® method. A significant aspect of this method focuses on individual needs and the importance of recognizing how children see and interact with the world. There are similarities between the DIR® approach and our special needs physiotherapy methods. We encourage students to explore their abilities and praise them for their achievements. We structure special needs physiotherapy to provide positive physical and emotional milestones. We provide 1:1 sessions for children with extensive physiotherapy needs. A progressive approach leads to group integration when appropriate and only when students are comfortable and prepared.
Tailored programs can include sensory-friendly exercises, balance training, and specialized equipment to help children overcome their unique challenges. Focusing on the individual means no standardized metrics or unfair comparisons between students. Personalized and rewarding, we provide a secure environment where students are motivated and inspired.
We engage with parents and caregivers to support every student’s unique physical needs in and out of school. Physical exercise at home can improve physical conditioning and help alleviate pain and discomfort. We work closely with families to ensure that help is available, and we offer consulting services for unique scenarios.
