The Arc of Ohio will host a Town Meeting with Jeff Davis, Director of the Ohio Department of DD regarding the SELF Waiver at
6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, November 3, 2020. This is an opportunity for individuals and families on the SELF Waiver to tell the Director what is working and not working.

Please register in advance:

Organizations supporting families of Ohioans with disabilities are invited to send their representatives to a Family Organization Forum to hear updates from the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities (DODD), provide feedback, network and share information.

These regular forums are intended to strengthen the channels of communication between DODD and family organizations in order to provide families with timely and accurate information.

If possible, organizations are encouraged to participate in-person, but that is not always possible. For those who are unable to make it in-person, there is a call-in/online option to participate remotely. The remote participation information will be emailed after registration is completed.

If you have any questions about the forum or the registration process, please contact Steve Beha at steven.beha@dodd.ohio.gov or 614-466-4085.

As you may know, efforts are underway to assist providers in becoming fully compliant with Ohio’s EVV requirements. The webinars scheduled for October and November are part of that effort.

Auto-verification of visits occurs when no provider action is necessary after the visit is recorded at the time of service. All required information is captured and no exceptions are posted. Join us at one of the following webinars to learn more about auto-verification, why exceptions post to your visits, and how to achieve auto-verification of your visits.
