MISSION STATEMENT

Our goal is to raise awareness of all abilities and partner to strengthen coordination to improve services for families in the state of Oklahoma, with a special emphasis on the OKC metro area.
Together, we will explore new ways to bring additional supports to the hands of underserved populations and increase the quality of resources available in our communities.
Through the unified voices of community members of all backgrounds we will ensure families of individuals with disabilities are empowered to facilitate a better quality of life.

Meetings are held the 4th Wednesday of every month from 10:00 am - 11:30 am. Meetings are currently being held by Zoom.
