FAQ

Yes. We are specifically structured to meet the academic, social, behavioral, and communication needs typical of autistic students.  It is typical for our students to also have ADHD, LD, etc.

Programs offered by OASIS NC and SEA Academy are designed for individuals with autism.  Our programs benefit students by providing smaller class sizes, structured teaching, and reduced stress environments.  Due to the small size of our physical space, each classroom only has one adult staff member.  Therefore, applicants to OASIS NC center-based programs must:

1. 1. Have no aggressive, self-injurious, or destructive behaviors.
   2. Use the bathroom independently.
   3. Be able to participate in a small group of 5-10 students.

Not typically.  While at times we do work with students individually, our goal is for our students to participate in a small group.

OASIS NC is a support and educational center, not a day care.  Our programs were created to teach social, academic, behavioral, and communication skills.

We want to offer ongoing experiences for children and teens with autism that will enrich their lives through increasing their confidence, making friends, exploring and developing a variety of interests, and learning strategies that promote self-advocacy, a problem-solving mindset, and communication.  We are a family-focused organization, and we understand the impact autism can have on the entire family (siblings, spouses, grandparents, etc.).  We base our service delivery on this understanding and love to foster positive relationships among all.

Children and individuals benefit from ongoing, consistent instruction, support, and accommodations throughout their lifespan.  Each program and each individual comes with a variety of goals and, therefore, a variety of definitions of success. If your child/teen receives services from OASIS NC, progress on his/her goals will be made readily available to you.

We provide services for students 6-21 years old.  This does vary from year to year, and as we expand, we look forward to providing services to adults as well.

Tuition and fees vary depending on program and financial aid availability.  Please contact us for more information!

Unfortunately our services are not covered by insurance. There are state grants available for Southeastern Autism Academy.

OASIS NC refrains from using this terminology.  This is because it can underestimate some individuals, while overestimating others.  Our students have a wide variety of abilities, personalities, and academic/social/communication goals.
