From Every Corner of Ohio: Meet Your DD Council

From Every Corner of Ohio: Meet Your DD Council
Q: How does the council decide which projects to fund?
A multi-stage process starts with five-year priority setting, followed by staff drafting proposals, committee review, a review panel with council members and outside experts, ranking by merit, and final approval by the full council.
Speak Up, Speak Out, Speak Loud: Taking on Ohio's Disability System
Q: What is the role of direct support professionals (DSPs) in this ecosystem and how should they be integrated?
DSPs are essential to daily living and should be treated with respect as crucial supports, not as parents; they should understand they support the client who drives the system and the life they want to live.
Speak Up, Speak Out, Speak Loud: Taking on Ohio's Disability System
Q: What advice do you have for advocates who want to change state rules and regulations?
Know the rule inside out, use concrete personal examples, do your own research, expect many refusals before success, engage with local legislators, and stay persistent while being the squeaky, well-prepared advocate.
Speak Up, Speak Out, Speak Loud: Taking on Ohio's Disability System
Q: Can you tell us a little bit about how state rules and regulations are made for disability support services?
Rule-making in Ohio involves state agencies drafting language, notifying the public, holding hearings, and then review by the Joint Committee on Agency Rule Review (JCAR). Public input can influence whether a rule moves forward or is defeated.
