Ohio League

Supporting People With Disabilities and The People Who Care For Them

Ohio's Developmental Disabilities Coalition

The Ohio League believes that no one type of program or facility can serve the diverse needs of all our developmentally disabled population. Therefore, the League is committed to educating citizens, lawmakers, and state and federal officials to adopt this flexible and realistic policy in the delivery of quality care and services to our loved ones. In order to ensure that the needs of each person are met, we support the development and availability of a full continuum of state operated and private residential options; educational options and employment options.

 

Our Purpose:

  • To promote the general welfare of all developmentally disabled people

  • To oppose the closing of any Ohio Developmental Center
  • To work for laws that will aid all developmentally disabled citizens
  • To aid families of the developmentally disabled to solve their problems
  • To co-ordinate aid, public and private, in behalf of the developmentally disabled

PROPOSED RULE CHANGES

Parents and advocates in Ohio and around the country are submitting comments to CMS in opposition to a proposed rule change that would allow states to combine all their waiver programs into a “mega-waiver” and that would encourage states to “divest” of large public and private ICF/MR properties. Please let CMS know that you are opposed to these proposed rule changes by writing to: Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Department of Health and Human Services, Attention: CMS-2296, ANPRM, P.O. Box 8016, Baltimore, MD  21244-1850.
