The mission of Disability Rights Oklahoma (DROK) is to protect, promote, and expand the rights of people with disabilities across Oklahoma.

Our mission reflects the belief that people with disabilities are entitled to dignity and respect and to be free from abuse, neglect, exploitation, and discrimination.

We also believe people with disabilities are entitled to equal rights and equal access to the same opportunities as everyone else.

Since 1977, we have provided free advocacy services to Oklahomans with disabilities. We work statewide to protect rights and improve the systems that people with disabilities rely on.

Disability Rights Oklahoma (DROK) is a member of the National Disability Rights Network (NDRN), a national association of Protection & Advocacy agencies.

Every state and territory has a Protection & Advocacy (P&A) agency. P&A agencies are mandated and funded by Congress to protect the rights of people with disabilities.

DROK has authority established by federal law to investigate abuse and neglect and to monitor services and facilities that serve people with disabilities. When needed, we can pursue administrative, legal, and other appropriate remedies to protect rights across Oklahoma.
