The Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities (DODD) learned that their Ohio Early Intervention (EI) system achieved the highest rating of ?meets requirements? determination from the federal Office of Special Education Programs for the seventh consecutive year. This determination recognizes the accomplishments that DODD and its local EI partners have made in implementing the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and improving child outcomes. EI is a statewide system that provides coordinated services to parents of infants and toddlers with disabilities or developmental delays. Governor DeWine has prioritized services for Ohio?s children, and this achievement for the Early Intervention program is another step in the right direction for children to be supported throughout their growth and development.
