Our mission is simple.

OCALI inspires change through public policy and developing and deploying best practices - linking research to real life - so that people with disabilities have the opportunity to live their best lives for their whole lives.

This is an intentional and inclusive space. We are committed to recognizing and celebrating the diverse experiences of people with disabilities, families, and professionals. The following guidelines have been developed to ensure that our online community aligns with the core vision, mission, and values of the Ohio Center for Autism and Low Incidence (OCALI).

We welcome disabled people, families, and professionals working toward increased accessibility, acceptance, and empowerment -- with focus on supporting underserved, under-resourced, and multiply-marginalized populations.

We respect and affirm each community member’s unique identity and right to use preferred language.
