To continue our collaboration with our provider community and share the latest technology to help individuals live their best lives, we would like to offer customized ATV (Assistive Technology Vehicle) visits to your day program locations. Our hope is to make this educational and fun for your staff and individuals with giveaways and incentives! We will deliver a hands-on experience tailored to your specific needs/requests and may include various themes such as assistive technology (AT) for leisure, AT for activities of daily living, AT for mobility, and even apps and virtual reality!

The week of September 12-18, 2021, is Direct Support Professional (DSP) Recognition Week where we celebrate the remarkable people who support, care for, and provide the most essential of services for people with developmental disabilities.
DODD wants to hear your appreciation for the DSPs who support you, who are your co-workers, who are your community partners, and who are the backbone of Ohio’s service delivery system.
Fill out this survey and your answers could be used in social media posts, videos, or other communication from DODD.
In addition to honoring hard working DSPs, DODD recognizes the need for new DSPs. Help recruit future DSPs with this social media toolkit.

Cuyahoga DD has posted lists on our website of Independent Providers who are willing to work with an agency, as well as a list of agencies who are in need of staff. These lists are updated and posted regularly. If you would like to be added to either list, please complete the appropriate survey below. Additionally, if you'd like to be removed from these lists for any reason, please email PDS.
*Please note that this list has been revised. Only Providers who completed the survey in the past 90 days have remained on the list. If you are no longer on it but wish to be, please complete the survey again.*

BCI Reports Are Delayed
Due to recent issues with a computer system upgrade at BCI, there have been delays in processing background check reports. In response, BCI has developed a process to assist providers in getting the delayed background check reports. As providers seek help from their local county boards, DODD wanted to ensure that each of you had the information attached to support providers. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.
