About Oaklin Lane

Oaklin Lane is building a national leader in pediatric therapy, with a mission to expand access to high-quality care for children and families.

Too many children who need speech, occupational, physical, or behavioral therapy face long waitlists and limited access to providers who accept insurance. Oaklin Lane is working to change that by building exceptional therapy centers that combine outstanding clinical care with thoughtful operations, modern technology, and a family-centered experience.

We are an early-stage, rapidly growing company. Interns will have the opportunity to work on real business problems and help build systems that can scale across a national organization.

We are looking for a thoughtful and curious Psychology & Child Development Intern to help us better understand and improve the experiences of the children and families we serve.

You will work on meaningful projects spanning child development, family engagement, patient experience, clinical research, and program design. This is not a traditional observational internship.

Strong candidates will be:

Strong researchers, writers, and communicators

Comfortable working independently in a remote environment
