About Little Oaks
Little Oaks Center for Neurodevelopment is a newly established 501(c)(3) nonprofit in New York City dedicated to uplifting neurodivergent children and the families who love them. Founded by Susan Globus, a mother of two neurodivergent boys who experienced firsthand the isolation and complexity of navigating disconnected systems, Little Oaks was created to offer something different: a cohesive, community-centered hub where families are truly seen, supported, and empowered.
Little Oaks serves families of young children with developmental differences, including autism, ADHD, sensory processing challenges, and learning delays, with a focus on the earliest and most formative years. Through its emerging physical center and a comprehensive digital platform now in development, Little Oaks is building an accessible entry point for families seeking reliable resources, peer connection, and culturally responsive guidance.
Rooted in equity and lived experience, Little Oaks is working to transform the landscape of neurodevelopmental support in New York City, creating a welcoming community where every child’s wiring is honored and every caregiver has a place to turn.
