TSHA Programs

TSHA's programs are continually evolving to meet the ever changing needs of today's society. The one constant is the promotion of independence for the consumers served.

 

The Interpreter Referral Program (IRP) provides qualified interpreters for the entire state of Oklahoma in a variety of settings, ending the dependence on parents, siblings, children or co-workers to serve as interpreters. Last year IRP covered more than 6,000 interpreting assignments. This department also provides mentorship to individuals desiring to enhance their interpreting skills.

 

Information and Referral (I&R) serves as a resource for the community in the areas of deafness, hearing loss and speech impairments as well as providing effective utilization of community resources which include other United Way agencies.

 

Independent Living (IL) educates the clients and the community for better independence.

 

Each program provides specialized services ensuring all the needs of the client are addressed. TSHA's success is in educating and meeting the need of both the client and community in which they live.
