SSPs are the eyes and ears for the DeafBlind community and they help encourage independence that may be difficult without the resources the DB community need. SSPs provide environmental information to DeafBlind so that the bigger picture is given and that short exchange communication is understood.
SSP work very flexible and you work when you are available and when a DB requests that service.
If you are interested you can RSVP to this event and we will have our SSP coordinator contact you with more information. Or visit https://www.shep-ok.org/become-ssp or email humanresources@shep-ok.org
Prices:
Level 1 SSP training fee: $50
Level 2-3 SSP training fee: $75
Refresher: $20

This Friday, April 20, 2018, we will be having a game night from 6p.m. - 9p.m. at OSU-OKC Student Center on the 2nd floor. It is located right across from the book store. That area is known as the Hub or the cafeteria. There will be a few games of Bingo then chat and enjoy any other games that are brought. It is also a potluck, so if anyone who is coming wants to bring food, our theme is BBQ.
At noon on Saturday, March 24, we will be marching from the County Election Board to the Oklahoma Capitol Building in unity with the victims of the Marjory Douglas Stoneman High School victims. We are done waiting for change- we are making it happen. We are demanding that our lawmakers pass legislation that will keep our schools safe. Our march is organized by and led by students from across the state and their allies, and we are supported by Oklahoma Women’s March, March on Oklahoma, and several other groups.
Dec 1st, 2017 there will be a Signing Deaf Santa from 9:00am-2:00pm at Northpark Mall (Oklahoma City). This is a great opportunity for deaf and hard of hearing kids to interact with santa and get great pictures they can remember for a lifetime.
