Our vision of a truly equitable Ohio is rooted in improving opportunities and outcomes for young people with disabilities. That starts in the classroom.
The need for our advocacy, support, and resources all across Ohio is enormous. Limited by the federal grants that fund much of our work, our team has developed creative solutions to grow and expand supports for one of our most in-demand areas: Education.
This past year we secured specialized grant funding to temporarily add to our Education team, bringing on an Education Advocate. The advocate made an immediate impact. In just three months, our advocate was able to assist 67 families across Ohio with the information and support they needed to better advocate for their students. We continue to pursue private grant funding to operate our successful Education Fellow program that routinely assists well over 200 families a year through the IEP process.
As impactful as the expansion was, it was only temporary. As we set our sights on 2025, we are asking all of you – our supporters – to invest in outcomes like these for a better tomorrow. Your investment of $20, $2,000, or anything in-between, will help us expand our reach and grow our work all across this state we call home.
Your support will help to drive better outcomes for Ohioans with disabilities.
Let’s partner to invest in tomorrow.
