Grow, socialize, and embrace autonomy.
Ohana helps children and adults with special needs grow in enjoyable, meaningful ways. We want the people we support to realize how rare and valuable each of us really is. Through our Day Programs (DTA) & Summer Programs (DTS), we provide safe and comfortable family-like environments that we believe are crucial for personal and interpersonal growth.We believe that all people have gifts and abilities that far exceed the expectations of others. We believe that with Ohana’s individually tailored, person-centered, and family-like atmosphere, the sky is the limit. Children and adults do not need to be living in an Ohana home to register in any of our services. Transportation within a 15 mile radius is provided.
