Purpose	Subsequent to the 2003 Children’s Oral Health Forum, in June 2005, the COHC partnered with OKACAA to carry out follow-up activities to the forum funded by another ASTDD grant. In a survey of those who attended the forum, 68% of the respondents “indicated that the lack of access to dental care for children with disabilities and special care needs is a problem to children in Oklahoma receiving access to proper dental care. Thirty-eight percent of the respondents believed this problem to be rather significant.; The survey identified barriers to access including unwillingness of providers to serve children with severe disabilities, no incentives to serve rural areas, and an inadequate number of providers - even if funding were not a problem. With this information in mind, in January 2006, the Children’s Oral Health Coalition considered the opportunity to apply for an ASTDD grant to host an oral health forum on children with special health care needs. On March 6, 2006, OKACAA was awarded $5,000 from ASTDD to hold a one-day forum to develop an action plan to address the oral health needs of children and youth with special health care needs.
