Abstract

SOAR Partners is a social impact consulting company that offers technological and professional services to institutions that strive to enhance the lives of individuals and their society. SOAR has made it a vital goal to help solve the complex issues surrounding the intellectual or developmental disability (I/DD) community. Among the many concerns the I/DD community faces across the nation, the state of Oklahoma is outstandingly behind the pack. As a response, the research conducted in this report aims to shed light on Oklahoma’s alarming waitlist and whether a solution exists.
