In the decades since parents and supporters banded together to individually create Home of Hope, Rogers County Training Center and Delaware County Friendship Homes, the number of individuals with developmental disabilities and family members who have benefited from services provided by these organizations is immeasurable.  As the three organizations join to work together sharing knowledge and resources, we currently serve more than 250 adults with intellectual disabilities.

Our services span 5 counties in northeast Oklahoma in the communities of Vinita, Claremore, Grove, Jay, Miami and Pryor.  We have a strategic plan to expand to other communities, extending our reach and meeting more needs.

We provide a wide range of services tailored to meet the needs of each individual.  Our residential services offer many levels of support.  Our settings, individual goals, and caring staff promote independence.  Ranging from group homes to services in private homes, our residential programs allow individuals to live in a secure, comfortable environment with  staff trained to provide necessary assistance while maximizing individuals' abilities.

Vocational services staff work to help individuals gain jobs that promote self-worth and achievement.  Jobs are matched to individuals' abilities, skills and interests and are re-evaluated regularly.  Jobs can include contracted assembly work in our sheltered workshops, customer service and operation of our thrift stores, sorting donations to our recycling businesses, as well as work-groups and individuals working at local businesses.  Individuals are supported by a job coach based on needs with some working independently in the community.

We maintain a schedule of organized activities to meet a variety of interests and abilities.  Many individuals participate in Special Olympics activities including golf, bowling, swimming, track & field and more.  We are proud to say our Fighting Peacocks men's unified softball team members are the reigning USA Games gold medal winners!  And we have the largest team of competitors year after year at the Oklahoma Summer Games!  Combine Special Olympics training and competition with our equestrian program, fishing, dances, fitness program, and community outings and there is something for everyone.
