Outreach Alliance Supporting Neurodevelopment (OASN) is a faith based (Christian) non-profit organization founded 5/12/2011 serving families in the state of FL within driving distance of Ocala, FL.

OASN serves the following neurodevelopmental disorders:

Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADD/ADHD), Global Developmental Delay, Intellectual Developmental Disorder (ID), Learning Disorders and Autism. 

MISSION STATEMENT

To facilitate the best outcomes for individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders. This is accomplished by offering educational programs, support meetings, events and referrals to the individuals, families & caregivers served. All that we do is lead by faith and hope to impact our community in a positive way.

Our name reflects our alliance with:

• The families OASN serves

• Our Community Partners

• Functional, Holistic & Traditional Medical Providers

•Therapeutic Providers 

Our goal is to focus on the development of the brain (including the gut/brain connection). In our programs, services & events, we focus on what is possible. The children we serve are seen holistically, not just as a number.  We focus on what the brain can do, even if it takes a little longer to accomplish or if it has to be done in a different way.

It is important to nourish the body with good quality food, water, & nutrients (please see our list of functional medicine providers in our resource guide to make an appointment for specific recommendations and strategies) to help the brain to function at an optimal level. We welcome functional medicine and holistic providers to offer webinars to aid students, staff, and the families we serve to learn the best strategies for healthy living. We encourage companies or providers interested in offering webinars (must be no cost to our families & OASN) to email us at inquiries@oasn.info. 

Our alliances in the community help us to refer out for medical/therapeutic interventions (see below for more information on this). With funding available, we can expand and offer more to the growing community we serve. Until then, we will refer families to our parent recommended resources in our resource guide and expand our community alliances to ensure that individuals with neurodevelopmental diagnoses are being supported (not financially).

At OASN, we get it because we have walked down the road with our own children (just ask our executive and associate directors).

PLEASE NOTE: OASN is not a medical or therapeutic clinic-however, we do refer out to medical and therapeutic providers. Please complete an intake form for referrals or check our resource guide.

We ask for your prayers and partnership to do everything needed for children diagnosed with neurodevelopmental disorders & their families. 

HOW IS OASN FUNDED?

Everything we do is dependent upon donations & funding received. Pre 2020, we offered 20+ programs and services. Post 2020, we do not have the funding we had in the past. Due to this, we are limited to what we currently offer to the community. We do offer referrals, support meetings, events (when offered the space for community events) and a private K-12 holistic school that is supported by choice scholarships and parent participation. 

Currentlly, the majority of our funding comes from our subsidiary school that is funded by choice scholarships & parent financial participation.

We do appreciate the funding from the MUGS and the Fraternal Order of Eagles that have helped us over the years post 2020. Due to this, we are in a process of transition but continue to serve for what we are funded for. 

Making a tax deductible donation helps us continue assisting our community with the increasing costs that are affecting all non profit organizations. You can also help us fund a desperately needed larger building. This cannot be done without additional funding. You can ask local businesses, government officials, foundations or anyone to fund OASN and the work we do by providing tax deductible donations (CH39857).

All that we do is lead by our faith. 

This organization was started in 2011 because our executive director could not find services, support or assistance in Marion County, FL for her own children. Currently, we refer out and offer a Resource Guide only since we are only funded for our subsidiary school at this time.  We will make an announcement in the next few months about the future of OASN and we appreciate your prayers.
