About The Pediatric Collective

The Pediatric Collective is an industry association. It brings together pediatric therapy companies, clinicians, parents, caregivers, researchers, and other industry leaders committed to improving access to high-quality care for children.

Pediatric therapy does not receive enough attention despite the enormous need. Families often face long waitlists for speech, occupational, physical, and behavioral therapy—in some communities, children may wait months or even years for an appointment. These delays can cause children to miss critical opportunities for early intervention.

The Pediatric Collective was created to help change that. We plan to elevate pediatric therapy as a national priority, increase awareness of the challenges facing children and families, share promising practices across the industry, and bring together organizations that can help develop meaningful solutions.

The Pediatric Collective is separate from Oaklin Lane and is intended to represent and include companies throughout the pediatric therapy industry.

About the Role

We are looking for a creative, thoughtful, and mission-driven Content & Social Media Intern to help make pediatric therapy a more visible part of the national conversation.

You will create and share content that explains the challenges facing children, families, clinicians, and therapy providers while highlighting research, practical resources, personal stories, and potential solutions. You will help grow The Pediatric Collective’s digital audience and build an engaged community around improving access to care.

This is not an observational internship. You will own meaningful content projects, help shape the Collective’s voice, and collaborate with parents, clinicians, researchers, and industry leaders to bring important stories and ideas to a broader audience.

Interviewing parents, caregivers, clinicians, researchers, and industry leaders

Translating clinical research and complex industry topics into clear, engaging content

Sharing practical resources and educational information with families

Highlighting promising practices, innovative organizations, and potential solutions

Supporting campaigns designed to increase awareness of pediatric therapy

Promoting webinars, roundtables, reports, and community initiatives

Monitoring engagement and using performance data to improve content

Experience building and engaging an audience around an important healthcare issue
