Stakeholders’ Feedback and Opportunities Meetings - Presentation

Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities is looking forward to meeting with our providers throughout the state at our regional Stakeholders’ Feedback and Opportunities Meetings. Ahead of these meetings, we wanted to provide you with our brief presentation. Providers have asked for some information ahead of these meetings to understand trends in services, outcomes, and spending. We have listened to our providers, and put this information together, and are making it available for everyone for review at their convenience.  This is included as PDF attachment/link near the end of this message.

Please also find below the dates and times for the regional meetings. We invite you to RSVP to the contact next to each office, preferably a week before the meeting date with the names and full organization name of those attending. Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities is committed to providing access and reasonable accommodations in its services, activities, programs and employment opportunities in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and other applicable laws. To request a disability reasonable accommodation, call 419-861-8855 or e-mail James.Gears@ood.ohio.gov. We are looking forward to meeting with you, and hearing from our providers about innovative ways to enhance the VR Fee Schedule.
