Overview

OCALI works hard to create an inclusive culture. We understand that people find strength in their identity, so OCALI may use person-first language, identity-first language, or a combination of the two at different times based on the person or audience. By having respect for the different perspectives that empower the people we serve, we promote greater access and understanding to make peoples’ lives better and to inspire change in our communities.

Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) thrive in well-organized classrooms. Environments that provide clear expectations and predictable routines promote increased engagement and on-task behavior. Creating such environments often involves the use of individual work systems.

Structured work systems are visually structured sequences of tasks and activities that provide opportunities to practice previously taught skills and concepts.
