EMPLOYMENT FIRST
One of the strong aspects of Community Connections is to have employment at a job that highlights a person's strengths and interests. Huron County Board of Developmental Disabilities follows the State of Ohio Employment First Initiative, which states that individuals with developmental disabilities be directed towards community employment and that individuals with developmental disabilities are resumed capable of community employment.
Huron County Board of Developmental Disabilities will assist individuals with pursuing community employment. We do this by helping people through the Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities (a State of Ohio Vocational Rehabilitation program, also known as OOD) process for job exploration, job development and job coaching services. We also offer job development services to coincide with job development services from OOD. The Huron County Board of Developmental Disabilities will assist the person until their case with OOD is closed, at which point the person will choose a supported employment provider and/or an adult services provider.
