Leadership & Advocacy

Providing the best possible outcomes for the families of children with special needs and the professionals who serve them requires leadership and advocacy at the local, state, and national levels.

The Oklahoma Family Network helps train and support those who want to serve in a leadership role to assure services and support from agencies, hospitals, and other community organizations are being provided in a way that individuals and families prefer. Early intervention is key.
