Quadco Meets

A plan that details how Ohio will ensure that peo­ple with dis­abil­i­ties receive inte­grated ser­vices has been sub­mit­ted to fed­eral author­i­ties accord­ing to Quadco. The state tran­si­tion plan was sent to the Cen­ters for Medicare and Med­ic­aid Ser­vices this month. Just as the state has been work­ing on this process, so has Quadco, accord­ing to a release from the orga­ni­za­tion that we received on Wednes­day. As a part of the on-going research, Quadco offi­cials par­tic­i­pated in the first of a four-part webi­nar series on a trans­for­ma­tion project hosted by Ohio Employ­ment First and the Ohio Depart­ment of Devel­op­men­tal Dis­abil­i­ties. The pro­gram was titled “Mean­ing­ful Inte­grated Day” and it detailed the tran­si­tion of peo­ple from a devel­op­men­tal cen­ter to com­mu­nity employ­ment in the mid 1990’s. March is des­ig­nated as Devel­op­men­tal Dis­abil­i­ties Aware­ness Month. The next reg­u­lar meet­ing of the board will be on April 28 in the Stryker build­ing con­fer­ence room.
