Ohio OOD Employment First

“As part of Employment First, OOD and the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities (DODD) have established an interagency agreement to ensure continuity of services for Ohioans with developmental disabilities who wish to seek a job in the community.

Across the state, OOD helps job seekers transition from facility-based work and non-work settings (sheltered workshops, enclaves, adult day support programs, residential settings) to competitive integrated employment.

OOD vocational rehabilitation counselors work with local County Boards of Developmental Disabilities to identify and provide services to eligible individuals and assist them with work incentives planning.”
