Project: Transformation

To assist with capacity building across the state of Ohio, groups of both county boards and private providers are working with national Subject Matter Experts to transform their services from facility to community based. These groups receive guidance in the development of strategies to better include competitive and integrated employment options and more person centered services. Additionally they are working to sustain funding streams to support the individuals they serve through building best practices.

Project Tranformation

The original Project Transformation consists of four county boards and three private providers who are working with five expert systems transformation consultants to create agency-specific transformation plans. Support for these teams include on-site visits, training and tools from the Subject Matter Experts. Click here to see team transformation plans and implementation steps.
