The Ezra Center for People with Disabilities:
The Ezra Center is made possible in part by a grant from the J.E. & Z.B. Butler Foundation & Family Support Services from the Office of People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD).
The Ezra Center offers programs to children, teens and adults with a wide range of developmental disabilities. We strive to create inclusive programming designed to foster socially appropriate behavior and to enhance self-image in an atmosphere of acceptance and comfort. To this end, we encourage participation from individuals with disabilities and age appropriate typical peers looking to volunteer their time and service. All programs are led by experienced, professional staff, and have a low participant-to-staff ratios. Be on the look-out for details of Ezra program offerings in Centerpiece.

The Ezra Center is a part of the Barry and Florence Friedberg Jewish Community Center, located in Oceanside, NY.
Our program offerings touch upon all six points of wellness in order to give our participants as well rounded an experience as possible. With socialization meetings (social wellness) yoga and swim classes (physical wellness), social skills classes (intellectual and occupational wellness) and support groups (emotional wellness) we truly offer something for everyone!
