A Brief History of Oasis Child and Family Services LLC
Oasis Child and Family Services LLC is culturally responsive children and family service center located in Minnesota. The center is licensed under Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) to provide Early Intensive Developmental and Behavioral Intervention (EIDBI) program services which will be of benefit to children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders and related conditions (ASD), who are under 21 years old.
According to Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) there are significant shortages of providers who specialize in the provision of services to children living with ASD and their family supporters in Minnesota. There is an greater shortage of culturally responsive programs available to this population. A study conducted by the University of Minnesota looking at children in the Somali community has found:

There is an greater shortage of culturally responsive programs available to this population. A study conducted by the University of Minnesota looking at children in the Somali community has found:
- About 1 in 32 children aged 7-9 were identified as having ASD in Minneapolis
- Children with ASD were more likely to have an intellectual disability
- The age at first diagnosis was around the age of 5
- Families of children with ASD often are on a long waiting list for EDIBI certified providers
To this end, Oasis Child and Family Services (Oasis) decided to pursue licensure as an EIDBI culturally responsive service provider. Oasis is actively engaged within the local Somali cultural communities located in Minnesota. We believe we can support and lighten the burdens of Somali children and their family supporters who are seeking resources and services for managing the symptoms of ASD and related conditions which are creating barriers in learning and engaging in community life.
