Outreach Alliance Supporting Neurodevelopment (OASN)
Outreach Alliance Supporting Neurodevelopment (also known as OASN) is a faith based non profit organization that was started in 2011 by our executive director/founder because she could not find services or support for her children in Marion County, FL. There are still not nearly enough services available, however, OASN is doing our best to point families to resources available and provide services, whenever possible (which has become increasingly more difficult post 2020 as funding is scarce).
OASN provides referrals for children ages 5 to 21 with the following diagnoses or assists with helping families get a referral to get a needed diagnosis: Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADD/ADHD), Autism, Global Developmental Delay, Intellectual Developmental Disorder (ID), & Learning Disorders.
Current programs/services offered are as follows (as of 4-22-2025). Everything we do is dependent upon donations & funding received:
- COMMUNITY DINNER (RESOURCE EVENT) Our first Community Dinner will be held in the spring of 2025. Once it gets closer, we will post information on our website.
- PARENT SUPPORT GROUP (Facebook) This private group is available to parents of children that have an intake form on file with OASN. Complete an intake form (see the top header area and look for the red intake button). www.facebook.com/groups/oasnparentsupport/.
