Since 1949, Mary Cariola Center has prided itself on providing high quality, innovative, interdisciplinary programs for people with complex disabilities. The Cariola Collaborative extends the same quality, innovation and interdisciplinary approach to professional learning and consultation opportunities throughout our community and beyond.

Through the Collaborative, individuals from a variety of disciplines have the opportunity to come together to enhance their professional skills. Whether it’s in-person or online training or direct consultation, the Collaborative introduces professionals to innovative, best practice approaches vital to the care and education of individuals with complex disabilities.

Launched as an entity of Mary Cariola Center, The Collaborative is based on the strength of the agency’s knowledge and expertise as a leader in the special education and clinical fields, transforming the lives of people with disabilities. The Collaborative is approved to provide continuing education credits (CEU) for NYS teachers, NYS occupational therapists, and Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA). CEU offerings will be noted separately within the description of each course.
