Importantlinks - Welcome to the official site of Ms. Wheelchair Oklahoma

There are many links that can be helpful to individuals who happen to have special needs. Today, as I was talking to some individuals, I learned of some items I did not even know existed, but would have been very helpful to know. As Ms. Wheelchair Oklahoma is about educating, advocating, and achievement, I believe it would be helpful to have some links on this site to assist individuals.
Thank you!
