The Arc of Ohio is receiving a significant number of calls from families regarding the Ohio Developmental Disabilities Profile and the affect it will have on individuals receiving services through the IO (Individual Options) Waiver.

By now, almost everyone on the IO Waiver has had an ODDP completed and a funding range assigned. The transition to these new funding ranges will be completed over the next two years during the ISP (Individual Service Plan) process.

Following is detailed information on the ODDP: http://odmrdd.state.oh.us/CountyBoardsDoc/ODDP/ODDP.htm Please read over and become familiar with information.

The Arc is scheduling opportunities throughout the state to discuss how the ODDP and other changes will affect you and/or your loved ones.
