The Resource Directory for Head Injury and Other Conditions was first developed by Ruth Azeredo and the Traumatic Neurologic Injury Advisory Council and other partners in 2007. The original Directory was reviewed by individuals selected for their expertise and differing perspectives representing patients and families, the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH), Oklahoma State Department of Education, Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Department of Human Services, hospitals, and other organizations and agencies. It has been updated in 2011 to reflect current resource availability.

Introduction and Background of Head Injury

Purpose and Use of Resources and Services Directory

The intent of the directory is to help individuals, families, and providers know what resources and services are available in the state of Oklahoma for head injury and other conditions, and how they may seek referral or obtain them directly. The need for such a document became readily apparent while responding to the many inquiries and requests for information related to head injury, immediate and long term services, and disability-related social and employment issues. Although developed for persons who sustained a brain injury and their families, the directory is useful for persons with other conditions, persons with disabilities, and the general population. The agencies, organizations, and the broad array of health and social services citizens may need are included in the directory. The services are organized by the phases or continuum of care that patients and families may encounter following an injury event, from prehospital to acute and rehabilitative care to the broad array of community life services.

Substantial information is devoted to specific populations such as children, Native Americans, veterans, and the organizations that provide basic health and social services to improve daily living. The accessibility and availability of services in Oklahoma vary by geographic region, resources, and the distribution of professionals and other providers. The resource needs of children 18 years and younger were highlighted in a recent follow up study of children with head injury which helped to determine need for short- and long-term rehabilitation, information about special education, and transitional services to higher education and work.

The directory was first completed in 2006 after review and input by colleagues and members of the Advisory Council and Task Force. The Directory Committee assisted with distribution of materials. Information in the directory is updated periodically and includes all aspects of care and the services that may be needed and requested by persons with traumatic brain injury and other conditions. Because each individual, family, or provider wants information specific to their area(s) of need, individual sections may be requested by calling the Injury Prevention Service (405/271-3430) or information may be downloaded from the IPS web page (). If there are further questions after reviewing the information, individuals may contact the Traumatic Brain Injury Program. Contact information for direction listings is subject to change.
