Enrollment Process
Would Cookson Hills partner with my family?
Cookson Hills places high value on family partnership. The following characteristics describe families looking to partner with Cookson Hills.
Families who are:
- Having difficulty meeting the needs of your child age 5 to 17
- Desiring to keep a sibling group together in the same location
- Committed to following a Plan of Care and maintaining involvement (as able) with your child
- Willing to remain committed to long term placement and allowing your child to complete each school year
How much will it cost my family?
We understand that every family’s financial situation is unique. At Cookson Hills, we invite families to contribute financially in a way that reflects the support they provided while the child was living at home.
Families are responsible for:
• Applying for school tuition support through either a Cookson Hills Scholarship or the Oklahoma Parental Choice Tax Credit Program.
• Providing medical insurance that is accepted in the state of Oklahoma.
• Paying for counseling services each month if these are not covered by your insurance.
• Maintaining a small account with Cookson Hills for your child’s basic personal needs (such as haircuts, hygiene items, etc.).
Importantly, no child is ever turned away due to an inability to contribute financially. Our goal is to work with each family to find a manageable solution that ensures the child receives the care and support they need.
