It is the mission of the Ohio Developmental Disabilities Council to create change that improves independence, productivity and inclusion for people with developmental disabilities and their families in community life, especially for those considered by law to be un/underserved.
The Ohio Developmental Disabilities Council wishes to support one-time initiatives, not otherwise included in the state plan, in an expeditious manner without the necessity of waiting for the next meeting. This would be accomplished by sponsorship/collaboration on a variety of events/conferences as they relate to significant issues in the developmental disabilities arena.
Expenditures shall further Council's positions and its efforts to support persons with developmental disabilities and their families to become more fully integrated into their communities, to learn more about various disabilities and the most-up-to-date means to support a person with such a disability, and to foster greater public awareness of both disability issues and Council's role in promoting systems change. Expenditures shall complement and not conflict with Council's State Plan on Developmental Disabilities.
None is available.
