About Us

Our Vision and Mission

We envision a world where the term "disability" doesn't need to exist, where neurodiversity is as important as biodiversity and where success is defined by our own measures. 

Our Motto is simple:  Do New Things; Go New Places; Meet New People.  

We're here for your growth, every step of the way.

At OARS we provide Outreach, Advocacy, Resources and Services to individuals and families with developmental differences.

​

What this means is that, in addition to evaluating and treating individuals based on their unique profiles, we also find connections that will support the individual and family system beyond what our services provide.

​

At OARS it is our mission to provide services and foster connections based on an individuals interests, strengths and goals.  We believe in a strengths based approach that unites all stakeholders.

​Evaluation and Goal Setting

Our evaluation process looks at a client in all environments, not just the clinical setting.  We then work together to set goals and areas for growth, while building on the inherent strengths and interests of our clients.  We partner with the Redwood Coast Regional Center as well as accept private pay clients.

What Our Clients Say
Elementary Classroom

Chloe, Program Director of Montessori del Mar

We are so thankful to have Cynthia as a resource for our community. Cynthia's expertise goes beyond speech pathology and her day-to-day work with children. Her workshop for parents on pragmatics was eye-opening, professional, and inspiring. If only we could have more of Cynthia at our school!
