				  services or employment, or children in Oklahoma Department of Human Services
				  (DHS) custody. DHS provides at no charge, interpreter services for DHS clients,

				  interpreters.

				  employees and community members who are available to provide translation
				  services. The list designates the translator's name, phone number, and the
				  language spoken. Employees use contracted language translation providers when a
				  local, suitable translator is not available. Friends or family members of
				  clients, especially children, are not used for translating information related
				  to eligibility for services, except in emergency situations. In areas where the
				  client population served by a program is five percent or more non-English
				  speaking, a formalized procedure for bilingual services and literature in the
				  respective language must be provided by DHS.
(2)
Deaf or hard of hearing
				  interpreters.
DHS provides, at no cost, oral or sign language
				  interpreter services to anyone who is deaf and needs an oral or sign language
				  interpreter to receive or continue to receive DHS services, or retain or
				  maintain DHS employment. DHS uses contracted vendors to provide qualified
				  interpreter services statewide for all deaf persons requesting American Sign
				  Language, Manually Coded English, or oral interpretation, except when services
				  are specifically authorized through the Interpreter Services Program of the
				  Oklahoma Department of Rehabilitation Services. Clients or employees may
				  contact local DHS offices to request services. DHS Pub. No. 05-02, Sign

				  coordination, oversight, and implementation of the reasonable accommodation
				  request and appeal process.
(1) OCR
				  continuously evaluates each program, office, and facility to ensure compliance
				  with all current rules, practices, and Americans with Disabilities Act
				  Amendments Act procedures.

				  receives notification of all accommodation requests and dispositions. After
				  opening a case, OCR monitors each request to ensure the requests are processed

				  director, or designee when an accommodation request is not resolved by the end
				  of the 30-calendar day, interactive process.

				  for reasonable accommodation, and summary information on the numbers, natures,
				  and outcomes of requests filed separately and apart from individual employee
				  personnel files and client case records.
(4) Statistical information concerning
				  request activity is released or reported to interested persons. The Oklahoma
				  Open Records Act governs access to individual records and only those persons
				  with a right of access as provided in the Oklahoma Open Records Act may review
				  an individual request file. OKDHS maintains open record requests per federal
				  and state laws governing record retention and destruction.
