OCALI stands as a model agency for inspiring change and promoting access for people with disabilities. But how do you describe an organization that is so many things to so many people? Home to ten distinct centers and three world-class online learning portals, OCALI is at the forefront of equipping parents, professionals, and educators with the tools necessary to help people with disabilities live quality lives.
The hallmark of our work revolves around three key components: partnerships, policies, and practice. We leverage our partnerships and network to facilitate change. We influence and impact policies and how they are made. We analyze research and convert it into applicable, easy-to-understand practices so that others can flourish and be empowered.
We are guided by the principle that people with disabilities have value, worth, and dignity, and that belief is what determines our trajectory as an organization committed to inspiring change and promoting access.
