OCALICON 2025 | What is OCALICON?

OCALICON, the premier autism and disabilities conference, began in 2007, and continues to bring together a cross-section of professionals and parents who utilize a variety of products and services at home, work, and in the community. The conference offers sessions which target a range of disabilities including autism spectrum disorder, deaf/hard of hearing, blind/visual impairments and other low-incidence disabilities.

For 13 years, the conference was held in OCALI's hometown of Columbus, Ohio, before moving online in 2020 and adopting the name OCALICONLINE.

Whether working across the lifespan, across agencies, or across the world, our goal remains the same:

To deliver a world-class learning experience that inspires change and promotes access to opportunities for people with disabilities.

OCALI delivers on that goal because we believe:

In the power and possibilities of interactions involving passionate people.
In cultivating meaningful opportunities for sharing ideas, resources, and successes.
That inspiring change and promoting access happen when there is a range of understanding, conversations, and exchanges.

This is what we believe, and this is what we build upon at OCALICON.
