OCA focuses on what an individual CAN DO.

*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.

November is National Family Caregivers Month!

Caring for a loved one with special needs comes with unique joys, challenges, and responsibilities. This month, we recognize the parents, family members, and caregivers who show up every day to support, advocate for, and celebrate every milestone with their loved ones.

At OCA, we want caregivers to know that whether you're navigating a new diagnosis, looking for community or seeking guidance along the way, you don't have to figure everything out on your own.

💙 Visit apd.myflorida.com for information about services and supports for eligible Floridians with developmental disabilities

To all the family caregivers out there, thank you for everything you do!

No one should have to wait to get the support they need. 💙

At OCA, we believe every individual deserves the opportunity to grow, learn and reach important milestones. That's why every program we offer incorporates elements of therapy and ABA into everyday activities and lessons. With trained staff and small group settings, participants can practice skills and build confidence in an environment where they’re learning, connecting, and having fun.

💙 We’re so grateful for the incredible partnership we share with Orlando Health! From helping OCA open our Longwood location to supporting our mission in meaningful ways over the years, Orlando Health has helped us create more opportunities for the people and families we serve.

We’re especially thankful for Sara Osborne and Zachary Hoover, whose support and dedication have been instrumental in strengthening this partnership and advancing OCA’s mission. It was wonderful to spend time with them at the Orlando Health Children’s Pavilion event and meet Scrubs, too!

Thank you, Orlando Health, for being such a valued part of our community! ✨

This weekend, our team was proud to celebrate and support BASE Camp Children's Cancer Foundation at its Golden Nutcracker Gala! 💛✨

It was a wonderful evening dedicated to raising awareness and critical funds for children battling cancer and their families throughout Central Florida.

Congratulations to Andria Herr, Chair of the Seminole County Board of County Commissioners and the 2026 Jim Weinberg Legacy Award honoree! Her dedication to BASE Camp Children’s Cancer Foundation brings hope and support to children and families facing childhood cancer. Such a well-deserved honor!

We are grateful to be part of a community that comes together to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others. Congratulations to the BASE Camp team on a beautiful and inspiring event!

🌱 Early support can make a lasting difference.

Early intervention can help children reach important developmental milestones, strengthen communication, social, motor and everyday skills, and address challenges before they become bigger obstacles as a child grows.

At OCA, we provide individualized support to help children build the skills they need, when they need them most.
