Human Services
The Olean Center assists children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We support our participants’ dreams, goals, and inclusion in the community. We work with them to explore all aspects of their lives: from basic life skills, safety and security, to employment, and self-advocacy. We help them and their families to develop a vision of a fulfilling life, and we do everything in our power to make that vision a reality. For more information, please visit the Olean Center website.
