An e-newsletter of the J. D. McCarty Center for children with developmental disabilities Volume VI, Issue 2 April - June 2012 McCarty Center offers free mobile screening program to reach more families The McCarty Center has started a new program to reach more families in Oklahoma. In-stead of families traveling to Nor-man for a screening, the hospital will come to them. The hospital’s new mobile screening program will give fami-lies an opportunity to meet with a screening team to determine if their child with special needs qualifi es for inpatient evaluation and rehabilitative services at the hospital, which specializes in the care and treatment of children with developmental disabilities. The screenings are free. Typically, a family must travel to Norman for a screen-ing. Now, the mobile program will bring that service to them, along with information about the hospi-tal’s other services. The program kicked off April 21 in Holdenville. “We want to create op-portunities for more of Okla-homa’s children with special needs to be reached and served by the staff of the Mc- Carty Center,” said Vicki Kue-stersteffen, director and CEO. The mobile screening team making the trip to Holdenville were (l-r) social worker Darcie Miller, Juliann Mann, RN, and psychological clinician Saundra Myers-Johnson. Kuestersteffen said the goal with the pilot program is to reach out to families who live in counties that are underserved by the hospi-tal. Last year, the McCarty Center provided services to children from 57 of Oklahoma’s 77 counties. “We’re trying to eliminate that distance barrier by going to them,” she said. “We’re bringing our staff and their expertise to them.” The screening team mem-bers who traveled to Holdenville were Darcie Miller, a social worker; Juliann Mann, a registered nurse; and Saundra Myers-Johnson, a psychological clinician and pro-gram coordinator. The team met with two children, and the screenings in-volved interviews with the fami-lies about the child’s medical, social and behavioral history. The team also shared information about the hospital’s comprehen-sive inpatient evaluations, Continued on Page 2
