The O!cademy

Welcome to O!cademy, where creativity, wellness, and inclusive learning come to life. As you explore, you’ll see images of our beading classes with students with disabilities, hands-on workshops with teachers.

O!cademy is a certified MWBE vendor, making it easy for schools to partner with us—no bids required.

Our programs are engaging, adaptive, and rooted in purpose. We create spaces where students build fine motor skills, confidence, and creativity, while educators reconnect, reflect, and feel appreciated.

Beading is Occupational Therapy.. in a Fun Way!

We found a true gem in creatively supporting students across District 75 in NYC through hands-on beading experiences. What looks like play is purposeful—supporting fine motor skills, focus, bilateral coordination, and self-expression in a joyful, accessible way.

We invite you to enjoy these outtakes from our students’ explorations with beads—moments of creativity, confidence, and connection that speak louder than words.

Where learning feels good, and progress is possible.

"P77K has had the privilege of participating in O!Cademy Bead PrO! for over 2 years. Each week the students look forward to their beading session and can’t wait to show off their creations to their family and friends. We are lucky to have partnered with O!Cademy Bead PrO! and we anticipate a long standing relationship with them".
