The Developmental Disabilities Council of Oklahoma is working to improve services and better support people with developmental disabilities in Oklahoma. To do this, we need to hear from Oklahomans who are impacted by a developmental disability. Please take a few minutes to complete our short community needs assessment, which is in addition to our Listening Input Sessions we held. Your feedback is crucial and will directly help to understand the needs and priorities of Oklahomans. Our assessment will be open until October 3.
