  • case management,

  • nursing services,
  • nutrition services,
  • occupational, physical and speech-language therapy, and
  • special instruction.

SoonerStart services are provided in the child and family's natural environment. This may include the child's home or daycare, and could extend to a relative's home, the grocery store, park, a restaurant, library, church or synagogue, etc. Direct link to the State Department of Education SoonerStart webpage.
