At MATCH, young people with developmental disabilities hang out with each other, build friendships, and learn social skills.

We do whatever YOU like to do. Bring your own hobby!

Our mission is to empower young people with disabilities to lead lives full of connection, joy, and purpose.

How are we different from other service providers?

 

Instead of matching clients to a 1:1 caregiver, we match clients to each other in small social groups. Clients are matched based on age, interests, and compatibility.

 

What do we do exactly?

Whatever you want to do! Clients in the young adult day program enjoy making movies, playing basketball, acting, karaoke, painting, hiking, going to the beach-- and a million more things! 

Will I learn anything?

Yes! We set goals together to work on the skills that are important to you. While hanging out with other clients, staff offer social skills coaching to help you connect with the people around you. 

How much does it cost?

MATCH is free for clients of the Regional Center. To request services, contact your Regional Center Service Coordinator. If you are not a client of the Regional Center, we also accept private pay.

History

Founded in February of 2023 and launched that summer, Caitlin Cleveland created MATCH as a continuation of OARS Therapeutic Services after its closure. Since that time, MATCH has created a young adult day program and a middle school afterschool program and grown to serve roughly 20 clients with developmental disabilities.

​

MATCH is currently in the process of bringing on Jen Klapatch-Totsch, BCBA, to strategically plot out MATCH's next moves to meet local need. This will greatly increase MATCH's ability to support children with disabilities through behavioral services, Kudos and MCRPD supports, and other emerging partnerships and services.
