Want your practice to be the top-listed Clinic in Columbus?

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.

Within this space Identity First Language (e.g. “autistic person”, “disabled people”, “d/Deaf culture”) and/or People-First Language (e.g. “person with Down Syndrome,” “people with disabilities”) may be used interchangeably.

Identity and language use is personal. Please refrain from offering “corrections” about language use or identity (e.g. “that language is incorrect and offensive, you should only refer to yourself/your loved one as….”).

We value the respectful contributions, questions, insights, and opinions of every community member. While disagreements may occur, we strive to maintain a respectful and supportive environment.

Please remain on-topic per post and within the community as a whole.

Use of obscenities, insults, threats, slurs, or other disparaging language will not be tolerated.

OCALI may edit, update, or remove content, comments, or shared resources at any time, for any reason.

Community membership may be suspended or removed at OCALI’s discretion.

Online Privacy

The internet is a public space. Please do not share personal information about yourself, loved ones, or those you support or work with - this includes photos, videos, or other media related to medical/health experiences, email addresses, telephone numbers, street addresses, as well as school or employer-related information.

External Links & Resources

We encourage sharing of well-sourced, evidence-based information between community members, however OCALI is not responsible for the content provided by members or updates to external links, websites, or resources.

Unsolicited advertisements, research proposals, or resources are not permitted.

Any information that is verified to be factually inaccurate can be removed.

Have an event you’d like to share? Please visit the OCALI’s community and event sharing space, Nexus (https://www.ocali.org/nexus).
