What is DODD?

In healthcare, "DODD" stands for "Department of Developmental Disabilities," specifically referring to the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities, which oversees a statewide system of services for individuals with developmental disabilities, focusing on their health, safety, community participation, and employment opportunities.

What is a DSP?

A "DSP" is a teacher, a mentor, and a friend with our I/DD. A DSP is far more than just a caregiver. A DSP helps facilitate our individuals into their communities, helps support them so they can live in integrated settings, and helps advocate for rights and services.

What is HPC?

HPC stands for "Homemaker/Personal Care". Homemaker/Personal Care, often called HPC, supports a person to be more independent in their home & community while meeting their daily living needs. Examples of supports include: Self Advocacy training to assist the expression of personal preferences, asserting rights, and making increasingly responsible choices.
