Activities at both sites include advocacy, arts and crafts, music and choir, problem solving, health and wellness, community safety, field trips and numerous celebrations. The ol choir performs in several events in the community.

Oak leyden's children's services programming takes a unique, multi-disciplinary, team approach to facilitate the holistic development of children with developmental disabilities and delays. Oak leyden therapists evaluate children in all areas of development and facilitate individualized therapy that fits the unique needs, challenges, and circumstances of your child. We are family-centric, typically providing services in a child's natural environment and working with caregivers to take advantage of everyday learning opportunities. Oak leyden is the only nonprofit agency in the area providing therapy to children all of these disciplines: developmental, occupational, physical, behavioral, and speech/ language.

Other program services include the supported employment program and clinic.
