The Oklahoma Human Service Developmental Disability Services division (DDS) has set a series of regional meetings to discuss details with families on the disability services waiting list. The Legislature passed funding this year to help reduce the 13-year waitlist.
“The meetings, part of the PossABLE initiative, will empower families coming off the waitlist,” said Oklahoma Human Services Interim Director Samantha Galloway. “They will allow families to speak with DDS staff, meet service providers and connect with other family caregivers.”
The first set of regional family meetings are set for December and will focus on families who applied for services between April 2012 and December 2013.
If a family who applied for DDS services between April 2012 and Dec. 2013 did not receive an invitation, contact information can be updated at www.ourokdhs.org/s/dds-waivers.
