Plan Your Way OK
The mission of the Oklahoma Transition Council and the Pathways to Partnerships team is to improve transition education, planning and services through stakeholder partnerships that lead to successful postschool outcomes for students with disabilities. This includes improvement with education or training, employment, independent living, mental health services and community participation.

Meet Jim
This month, we highlight Jim, a recent graduate from Haworth High School. Jim met with Kevin Randall to talk about learning from mistakes, working hard, and reaching his goals. Jim enjoys listening to music, dancing, and sitting by a fire. In the summer, he loves riding side‑by‑sides and going to the river. He works as a phlebotomist at McCurtain Memorial Hospital, where he draws blood and helps patients. Jim was born with limited mobility in his right hand, but with support from his instructors, he learned to do phlebotomy using his left hand. He hopes to become a traveling phlebotomist one day and later a nurse. Jim wants others to know that even with challenges, you can still achieve your dreams. He is thankful for his family, teachers, therapists, and everyone who has supported him along the way.

Featured Disability-Related Resources
June is Brain Injury Awareness Month. During this month, we learn about people who have had injuries to their brain and how these injuries can change their daily lives. Brain injuries can happen from accidents, sports, or sudden illnesses. By learning more, we can show support, help others understand the challenges people face, and work together to make our communities safer for everyone.
