OhioRISE Office Hours for DD System
Attention: All Providers, County Boards, COG Directors, DCs, ICFs

As OhioRISE launches, implementing the program across child-serving systems, including the Developmental Disability System, is a lot of work and you may have questions. We want to invite you to attend these biweekly Developmental Disability System-specific open office hours for OhioRISE.
This is an informal time to meet to ask questions and discuss implementation and operationalizing the program together to serve youth and families and continue building the system of care. OhioRISE subject matter experts, Aetna, and staff from the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities will be on the line to answer any questions. We want to be a resource to you as we launch the program.
The first office hours session will be Thursday, September 29 from 3-4 PM. These virtual question and answer sessions will reoccur every other Thursday at this time.
