Their personal attention to our project surpasses any team with whom we have worked in the past."

The research done by OIR has helped us to promote our work to a wide audience and gain local and national attention beyond what we could have done ourselves. We enthusiastically continue our relationship with OIR and think of it first when seeking advice and assistance in our child assessment work.” Website: Waldo Community Action Program "Waldo County Head Start recently received a federal triennial PRISM review. OIR helped us prepare for the review by conducting an audit of our files, conducting mock staff interviews, and double checking to ensure all program documentation and data were accurate and in place. Our review was a success. OIR's evaluation and support were instrumental to that success." |
