Ohio Department Of Developmental Disablities

Ohio Department Of Developmental Disabilities is a U.S. state government entity that provides services and supports for people with developmental disabilities. Through prime and sub federal grants, the Department delivers comprehensive early intervention services for infants and toddlers with disabilities, implements statewide systems of support, and funds community housing initiatives.

As the prime recipient of Formula Grants from the Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services, Ohio Department Of Developmental Disabilities has received over $17 million in annual funding to support the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act Part C program. This program provides early intervention services such as specialized instruction, therapies, service coordination, and family supports to infants, toddlers, and families. Subawards are distributed to local county boards, educational entities, health departments, and disability service organizations across Ohio to deliver community-based early intervention programming. Additionally, as a subrecipient under the Developmental Disabilities Council Ohio, the Department has helped provide funding for accessible and integrated housing initiatives for Ohioans with disabilities via U.S. Department of Health and Human Services grants.
