options designed to increase the employment /income of people with disabilities
in jobs they want and choose.

public opinion. People with disabilities and other advocates are in the best
position to educate and inform policy makers about issues that affect them. With
guidance from Council and in collaboration with four Centers across the state,
DD Council Centers for Public Policy will design and conduct a variety of
activities, including: training advocates, sharing information, contributing to
public policy debate, matching of advocates with federal, state and local policy
makers, and participating in at least one legislative event per year.
DD Council Centers for Public Policy will be eligible for $25,000-$40,000 in
funds per year for a two-year period to coordinate the activities listed above.

with disabilities to be employed in a variety of non-traditional higher paying
jobs.

Center of Excellence in Dual Diagnosis (MI/DD)
Federal
Award: $75,000
Minimum
Matching Requirement:
Non-Poverty
Area: $25,000
Poverty
Area: $8,333
Individuals throughout
Ohio
who have developmental disabilities with co-occurring mental illness (dual
diagnosis) will receive treatment and supports appropriate to their complex
interdisciplinary needs as a result of training, technical assistance,
coordination of service systems, clinical assessment, diagnosis, treatment,
consultation, and other best practices implemented in local communities. It is
difficult to find professionals who are trained in both mental retardation and
mental illness. Complex needs require that consumers and varied organizations
work collaboratively to develop and coordinate treatment and supports in the
community.
It is estimated that 30 to 40 percent of persons with mental retardation and
other developmental disabilities may have a dual diagnosis. Given this
percentage, over 100, 000 people with mental retardation in
Ohio
will experience mental illness. Many mental disorders are misdiagnosed, under-
diagnosed, or undiagnosed in this population.
In partnership with the ODMR/DD and the ODMH, the ODDC will
continue to fund a Coordinating Center of Excellence to improve treatment and
supports for dual diagnosed individuals. The partnership will implement
technical assistance and training targeting all 88 counties. The project will
begin a new cycle of implementation involving teams for discharge planning for
individuals in developmental centers, ICF-MR’s, regional psychiatric
hospitals, jails and prisons.

Minimum
Matching Requirement:
Non-Poverty
Area: $41,667
Poverty
Area: $13,888
Every child and family served by
Ohio’s Part C early intervention system will have access to evidence based
early intervention services, using methodologies built upon the science of how
young children naturally learn, and built upon trusting relationships between
the caregivers and professionals.
The project will assist Part C eligible children and their families to
access and receive quality services by teams trained in evidence based EI
transdisciplinary methodology. Council will fund a project to provide quality
assurance to three transdisciplinary teams in the implementation stage. These
teams should represent diverse areas throughout
Ohio
such as urban and rural and designated areas of poverty. The grantee will
provide technical assistance and recommendations as to best practice including
possible solutions to team coordination. The grantee will evaluate the
effectiveness and overall satisfaction of the team members with special emphasis
on functional family outcomes. Consumer satisfaction surveys and achievement of
IFSP goals will be used to measure family satisfaction with services received
and to determine that the outcomes of the Individual Family Service Plan were
met.
A final report of findings including guidance will be published to assist all
providers of Part C services in
Ohio
to better assist children and families to receive quality services.
Additionally, the grantee will provide the Children’s Issues Committee of ODDC
with recommendations of changes needed to improve the transdisciplinary model of
service being utilized to meet the needs of families and children receiving Part
C services.

Disability Impact Study

Area: $36,667

The Ohio Disability
Impact Study supports a research project that will acquire and analyze data to
demonstrate the direct and indirect social, economic, and psychological impact
of a child with disabilities as it relates to the immediate family, the local
community, and greater society in the State of
Ohio
. The project funds activities to collect and organize
Ohio
specific data to complete two types of analysis. First, a comparative analysis
will be completed to reflect the differences between families caring for a child
with disabilities and families with typical developing children.
This analysis will document direct, measurable effects on the families.
Second, an impact analysis should be completed to reveal the larger direct and
indirect effects that these issues have on local communities and the State of
Ohio
. Council plans to utilize the analysis to educate the public and policymakers
and find opportunities for improvement to systems and services for families that
would result in greater socio-economic good.
