The DDS Waiting List Meeting is a time for those on the waiting list and those who want to learn more can come and hear from the DDS Director, DHS leadership and other state agencies and programs that support people with developmental disabilities and their families.

The “Waiting List Meeting” is a time for the director of DHS and DDS’s director along with other state level administrators, to meet with family members. For more than two years, Legislators have been attending as well. Families often share current situations affecting them during their time of “wait”. Then it gives the administrators a chance to help the family find services and supports to assist while the family “waits”. In addition to families meeting and speaking directly to the administrators and legislators who could possibly help, it gives the administrators and legislators the opportunity to hear what is really happening to families who are “waiting”.

The Waiting List Meeting is more than for those waiting but for those who support Oklahomans with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
