Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities (OOD) helps people with disabilities prepare for, find, and keep meaningful jobs. By offering personalized support and working with employers across the state, OOD helps build a more inclusive workforce where people with disabilities can succeed.
OOD also helps Ohioans apply for federal disability benefits like Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Their team works with the Social Security Administration to determine whether someone meets the medical requirements for these benefits.
In addition to employment and benefits support, OOD runs programs like Accessible Ohio, which helps businesses, public places, and communities remove barriers and improve accessibility for everyone.
All of OOD’s services are focused on promoting independence, opportunity, and a strong foundation for people with disabilities.
