OCA: Opportunity, Community, Ability
April is Autism Acceptance Month, and at this Longwood Council meeting, you'll learn more about autism and what is being done in Central Florida to help our neurodiverse neighbors. In addition, you'll receive a sneak peek at the new OCA Campus coming to downtown Longwood later this year for families and adults who need assistance with autism.
OCA is a place built on possibility-not limitations.
What started as a conversation on a park bench in 2008 has grown into a dynamic organization serving more than 300 children and adults each year across Central Florida.
OCA offers therapy, recreation, vocational training, and life skills programs for individuals with autism and other special needs, from 18 months through adulthood. With every program, we aim to remove barriers and create opportunity—so every participant can live with purpose, connect with peers, and reach their potential.
We focus on what each individual can do-because our community is full of joy, strength, and incredible ability.
And we’re here to support it.
NO walk-ups will be permitted entry!
