This free training will primarily be for DRS staff; however, the first day in each location we are inviting our school partners to join us and help brainstorm ways to improve services and partnerships.

Day 2 in each location (DRS staff only) will cover Vocational Evaluations, Case Management for Transition, and other discussion items.
E-mail Kim Osmani at kosmani@okdrs.gov or call 405-343-8071 to find out more.  Registration will be conducted online as soon as details are worked out.

All school staff attending Day 1 at each location will be eligible to win a copy of the Brigance Transition Skills Activities Kit (a transition curriculum worth $350).

We encourage our school partners to attend so we can work together to improve how we team to serve our youth.
