• As you know, Gov. Mike DeWine extended the closure of schools in Ohio through May 1, and he directed state employees to continue working remotely through that date. Following that guidance, we will continue to limit building access through at least May 1, and both our schools are closed.⠀ ⠀ We will continue to provide the same quality of service as before. Our meetings and methods have changed, but this has not had an effect on the services we provide to people with developmental disabilities in our community. HCDDS staff continue to work at home, as their role permits.⠀ ⠀ We are here to support you.⠀ ⠀ #InThisTogetherOhio #StayAtHome #SaveLives #BeWell #COVID19 #coronavirus #hcdds #cincinnati #updates #hereforyou #disabilities

  • Did you know census data helps direct more than $800 billion a year in federal funding, including for key programs that support and protect the rights of people with disabilities?⠀ ⠀ The census is available online for the first time this year, and there are many accessible options. Take 10 minutes to fill out your data and make sure you’re counted!⠀ ⠀ For each person not counted in the 2020 census, Greater Cincinnati loses $1,814 per year in federal funding. About 23 percent of Hamilton County residents did not participate in the 2010 census, which meant our region lost $34 billion of federal funding during the last decade. ⠀ ⠀ #2020census #everybodycounts #takethetime #itsworthit #CensusDay #ohio #cincinnati #hcdds #accessibility #GreaterCincyCounts

  • Marcel Mullins turned 18 last year and voted for the first time in November. Marcel, who is non-verbal, practiced voting by printing out sample ballots.⠀ ⠀ As I became an adult with a special needs child, I realized that our voice through voting is a powerful thing, Marcy said. I want to pass that along to Marcel so he knows that even though he is non-verbal, he still has a voice and deserves to be heard.⠀ ⠀ This month, we're sharing stories that highlight aspects of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the importance of this landmark civil rights legislation.⠀ ⠀ #DDAwarenessMonth #CincyADA30 #DisabilityPrideCincy #election #voting #youmatter #makeyourvoiceheard #cincinnati #hcdds #vote

  • Beth and Susie use remote support to live independently while also having the support they need. The technology allows the roommates to video chat with a staff person when they have concerns or need something. It took me time to get used to it, but I like it, said Susie.⠀ ⠀ #DDAwarenessMonth #CincyADA30 #DisabilityPrideCincy #remotesupport #technology #independence
