DONATEOur Programs.
OCA offers programs for children and adults, ages 18 months and older, with autism or other special needs. Those programs include vocational, companion and life skills tracks; recreation programs, including camps, inclusive arts and Special Olympic training, and behavior therapy.
OCA assists participants in elevating their quality of life and community involvement through our unique multidisciplinary approach. The OCA team determines individuals’ strengths and maximizes programs to bring out those abilities, creating greater independence for them. “Independence” could mean a grade schooler learning to tie his own shoes, a teenager gaining skills to have the confidence to start a conversation to make new friends or a young adult learning to prepare a meal or a new job skill.
OCA works to support our participants by providing meaningful experiences that build social, emotional, vocational and life skills. Affordability and accessibility are paramount to OCA’s mission and vision. Every OCA client receives a scholarship, making our program model unique. Philanthropic donations offset the cost of services, and we never charge the true expenses to the families who need those services.
