Sooner Works Summer Academy 2024

This summer, step into a world of opportunity and growth at the Sooner Works Summer Academy 2024. Our Academy is tailored for students who are eager to embrace independence and prepare for future successes, both academically and professionally.

At the Summer Academy, you'll live in the OU dorms—a first taste of what college life is all about and the perfect setting to cultivate independence and learn essential life skills!

Furthermore, you'll develop skills in self-determination and college and workplace readiness through activities that empower you to make informed decisions about your future, set achievable goals, and develop the resilience needed to pursue them.

Join us this summer for an enriching experience that promises not just to prepare you for the next steps in your educational journey but to help you thrive in them. We can't wait to see how far you'll go!

Zarrow Summer Institute 2024

Join us this summer at the Zarrow Institute, where we explore crucial topics at the intersection of disability and transition and delve into a series of enriching discussions and workshops designed to enhance your understanding and skills in various critical areas related to IDEA Indicators 1, 2, 13, and 14.

We invite you to engage with experts and peers in a collaborative environment that fosters learning and growth. This year, we are excited to introduce sessions on Stepping-Up Transition, Adult & Healthy Relationships, Transition & Significant Support Needs, and EBD and mental health.

Whether you're a professional seeking to broaden your expertise or a community member passionate about advocacy and support, the Zarrow Summer Institute offers valuable insights and practical knowledge that can significantly impact your approach to disability and transition services. We look forward to welcoming you to a summer of learning, growth, and meaningful connections!
