The following survey is a collaborative effort of the Ohio Provider Resource Association, Ohio Association of County Boards of Developmental Disabilities, Ohio Health Care Association, The Arc of Ohio, Values and Faith Alliance, and Ohio Waiver Network.
Survey Purpose: The purpose of this survey is to collect information from agency providers in Ohio’s DD system to assess the short and medium-term impact of Ohio's fiscal year 24/25 biennial budget. The information gathered over the course of 2024 and 2025 will help the above associations understand funding and service delivery gaps in the system and inform future budget advocacy efforts.
Information gathered in this survey will be aggregated and shared with our partners in the DeWine administration and the Ohio General Assembly. Individual identifiable esponses will not be distributed or otherwise publicized.
Intended Participants: Agency providers of services in intermediate care facilities for individuals with intellectual disabilities (ICF-IID) and Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities (DODD) administered Medicaid waivers (Level 1, Individual Options (IO), and Self-Empowered Life Funding (SELF) waiver).
Survey Design: After initial introductory questions, the survey is designed to ask you questions based on the types of services your agency offers. The questions are the same for each type of service line. If you provide multiple service lines, you will be asked the same series of questions for each service line.
Survey Frequency: The survey will be distributed once a quarter at least until quarter 3 of 2025. We encourage all participating providers to complete the survey each quarter.
This survey is open till May 1st, 2024.
Questions about the survey can be emailed to either Scott Marks (smarks@opra.org) or Christine Touvelle (ctouvelle@opra.org).
