First Initiative

As part of the Employment First Initiative, OOD and the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities (DODD) have established an interagency agreement to expand Supported Employment services for working-age adults with developmental disabilities. This statewide initiative supports job seekers to transition from facility-based work and non-work settings to competitive integrated employment.
