Five-Year State Plan: Projects Highlights

The Ohio DD Council receives federal funding for innovative advocacy, capacity building and systems change activities. These activities are designed to contribute to a coordinated system of services, supports and other assistance that is centered around and driven by individuals with developmental disabilities and their families.

Council’s work is driven by its Five-Year State Plan covering federal fiscal years 2022-2026. The plan was developed with input from people with developmental disabilities, family members and interested stakeholders from around the state. All projects described in the plan adhere to DD Council’s philosophy that people with developmental disabilities have the right to be productive, interdependent members of their communities and of society at large.
