Merakey Oak Street

Helping people with autism strengthen communication, confidence, and everyday independence, Merakey Oak Street is a therapeutic and educational autism services center for children, adolescents, young adults, adults, and families. They address communication needs, emotional and behavioral concerns, social development, and challenges affecting learning and daily life through applied behavioral analysis and specialized developmental support.

Turn Skills into Daily Progress

Their applied behavioral analysis (ABA) services build attention, imitation, conversation, reading, perspective-taking, and other functional abilities. Specialized therapies support broader developmental goals, while family involvement, transition services, independence coaching, and pre-vocational training help people use these skills across school, work, relationships, and community life.

Prepare for Greater Independence

Located along Oak Street, this center is part of Merakey, a nonprofit dedicated to helping people, families, and communities. Merakey began in Philadelphia in 1969 as The Northwest Center, later became NHS Human Services, and has grown into a multi-state provider serving 12 states across behavioral health, autism, addiction recovery, intellectual and developmental disability, education, foster care, aging, and veteran services. At this location, they carry that mission forward by building practical skills, confidence, stronger communication, and readiness for a more independent future.
