This includes improvement with education or training, employment, independent living, mental health services and community participation.

Meet Iris
Iris graduated from Enid High School in 2023 and loves doing all kinds of art. She enjoys making music, writing, and drinking Sprite Zero. She has worked different jobs, from fast food to caring for animals. In the Project SEARCH program, Iris helped in Patient Access by organizing and taking patients to their rooms, and in the ER by cleaning and sanitizing. She learned how to handle stress and hopes to work in an office after the program. Her favorite part of Project SEARCH is her teachers and coworkers. Iris’s dream job is working with animals, and she wants her art to inspire people. Her advice to other kids is to stay strong, and she wants the world to know she is an artist.
