OCA- A Special Place for Special Needs

OCA- A Special Place for Special Needs OCA focuses on what an individual CAN DO.

Providing Opportunity, Building Community, Maximizing Ability for Individuals With Autism and Other Disabilities www.GoOCA.org



*All media content was taken with participants permission and does not include anyone currently receiving therapy services. OCA was founded in 2008 with the knowledge that children and adults with Autism and other disabilities need more opportunities to engage in age-appropriate activities with their typical peers. We offer Recreation Programs, Adult Program, Camps, Special Olympics training, ABA Therapy and other services for the Special Needs Community in Central Florida. “Special Needs” are commonly defined by what a person CAN’T do.

Zion began his journey with OCA at five years old, communicating through gestures and sounds. With the support from his family, our therapy team, and donors like you, he gained new skills through communication-focused play, sensory activities, and consistent routines.

Today, Zion is gaining independence and preparing to transition to his neighborhood elementary school. Stories like Zion’s are made possible by people who choose to give. During Light the Way for Possibility, every gift is matched up to $50,000 until Dec. 31. Help more children and adults grow in confidence at gooca.org/donate. ❤️

Many families find OCA when they are told there are no options that fit their child’s needs. Our early intervention and recreation programs combine therapeutic approaches with play, routine, and social connection. From sensory activities to inclusive arts and camp, we focus on abilities and build skills one step at a time. Curious about programs for your child or teen? Visit gooca.org to learn more or schedule a tour.

🌟 Today, we begin our Light the Way for Possibility campaign. From now until Dec. 31, gifts to OCA are matched dollar for dollar up to $50,000 thanks to The Harper Family Charitable Foundation. That means your support can help twice as many families access programs that build confidence, life skills, and community. Families are facing hard choices between basic expenses and the services that help their loved ones thrive. Your gift helps keep the doors open to care and connection.
