Opportunities For Ohioans With Disabilities

Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities (OOD) is the State of Ohio agency that empowers Ohioans with disabilities through employment, disability determination, and independence. Working with partners in business, education, and non-profits, OOD facilitates individualized employment plans for Ohioans with disabilities (physical, intellectual, sensory, and mental health) as well as helps Ohio companies recruit and retain employees with disabilities. The Division of Disability Determination, in agreement with the Social Security Administration (SSA), determines medical eligibility for Ohioans who apply for Social Security Disability benefits (Social Security Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security Income).
