The Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities (DODD) supports a statewide system of services that help people with developmental disabilities stay healthy, safe, and connected to their communities.
While each county in Ohio manages its own services and eligibility process, DODD provides important information and guidance for individuals with disabilities and their families. They help make sure services are consistent and person-centered across the state.
Families can visit DODD’s website to find their local county board of developmental disabilities and learn more about key programs such as:
• Employment First, which helps people with disabilities find and keep jobs
• Technology First, which promotes the use of assistive technology in daily life
• The Ohio Individual Service Plan (OISP), which helps guide and coordinate services based on a person’s needs and goals
