Ottawa Area Center School

Ottawa Area Center School, part of the Ottawa Area Intermediate School District (OAISD), provides specialized educational and therapeutic services for students across Ottawa County, Hamilton, and Saugatuck. Serving a wide range of ages from preschool (ages 2-5) through high school (grades 9-12), the district is dedicated to empowering students with diverse learning needs through personalized, inclusive programming.

The district offers a robust suite of therapeutic supports and specialized programs designed to address various developmental and behavioral challenges. Key services include Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) for behavioral support, speech and language therapy to improve communication, and occupational therapy to enhance daily living skills. Additionally, students can participate in social skills groups to foster peer interaction, and the district provides high-quality, free PreK programs to ensure essential early intervention for 4-year-olds.

OAISD emphasizes a supportive learning environment characterized by small class sizes and low student-teacher ratios, allowing for the implementation of Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and tailored instruction. To prepare students for successful transitions into adulthood, the district integrates vocational training and real-world learning experiences.
