Advocating for Children with Disabilities to Build a Better Future Since 2000
The OPC specializes in special education support for people with disabilities from birth to age 26 and their families. We have been providing services to Oklahoma parents and family members of children with disabilities, young adults with disabilities, and the professionals who serve them since 2000!
Navigating through the special education process can be overwhelming and complex. You don’t have to go it alone! The OPC staff is here to equip you with the tools you need to understand the system, work with service providers and schools, and advocate for your student or yourself.
Our goal is to give you the knowledge, skills, support, and tools you need to be the best advocate you can be! In order to accomplish this, the OPC offers services in three (3) key areas:
The OPC helps families work with early intervention, education, and transition systems and services. We strive to ensure that families receive training and information on their rights, responsibilities, and protections under IDEA so they can actively participate in planning and decision making that affects their children.
We also help youth and young adults with disabilities get high-quality services that increase their capacity to be effective self-advocates.
The OPC is here to equip you with the tools you need to understand the system, work with service providers and schools, and advocate for your student.
Our goal is to give you the knowledge, skills, support, and tools you need to be the best advocate you can be!
We have created a page where you can access online trainings/videos that you can watch at your convenience!
Some of these will be provided by the OPC, but others may be from our trusted partner organizations.
