What issues are important to you in 2008?

Parents & Professionals:

Sooner SUCCESS is currently conducting a Community Needs Assessment for Garfield County and we need your input!

If you are the parent of a child with special needs or a professional who works with children with special needs and/or their families then we are looking for you!

Our survey is just 4 pages long and can be completed in 5 minutes, but your participation is vital. We need to hear from you which issues are the most important in Garfield County.

  • Do we need more mental health counselors that serve children?
  • Is it hard to find a dentist that will accept Sooner Care?
  • Are the specialists your child needs too far away to see without missing time from work?
  • Does your church need help figuring out how to include your child?
  • Do you want to connect with other parents for support, but don't know how to find them?

Only you know the issues that are keeping you up at night!

Sooner SUCCESS wants to put the collective energy and resources of our coalition to work solving our county's most urgent challenges, but first we need to hear from YOU which issues are the most important.

To request a survey, contact Lisa Simmons at 603-1580 or by email at lisa.simmons @ ouhsc.edu (remove spaces when typing email address).

Surveys are available in both English and Spanish. Completed surveys can be returned by pre-paid postal mail to the OU Child Study Center (envelopes are provided with each survey).

And as our way of saying thank you, all respondents who complete and return their survey with contact information will be entered in a drawing for a $50 gift card. Survey ends March 1, 2008

Let your voice be heard!

Lisa Simmons
