Governor Brad Henry has appointed Chuck Roberts of Norman to serve on the Oklahoma Developmental Disabilities Council.
Also appointed were Eric Dysart of Oklahoma City, Lisa Copeland of Kingfisher, Trevin Lawson of Goodwell and Donny McCullouch of Duncan. The appointments became official at the September meeting of the Council.
The ODDC was established in 1971 to help coordinate the efforts of state agencies and private organizations in Oklahoma in meeting the needs of Oklahomans with developmental disabilities and their families.
The mission of the Oklahoma Developmental Disabilities Council is to promote quality services and programs that enable persons with developmental disabilities to realize their maximum potential through increased independence and productivity, as well as through integration and inclusion in the community.
The Council promotes systemic change and helps build community capacity so persons with developmental disabilities can live, work, play and learn in the communities of their choice. This is accomplished by planning and implementing innovative service or support model programs, funding research, training advocates and educating policymakers.
