As the Developmental Disabilities Services division of the state Oklahoma Department of Human Services chips away at a 13-year wait list for its services, the agency is working to hire more case managers to help Oklahomans with disabilities connect with state support programs.
Ryan Stewart coordinates marketing and communications for the Developmental Disabilities Services division. He said the agency is especially interested in hiring case managers who can help serve the increased number of Spanish-speaking Oklahomans applying for services across the state.
