Providers
Providers are essential to our community, working with people to help them reach their goals. Working in the field of developmental disabilities is a very rewarding experience. The Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities certifies providers in Ohio.
We contract with the Mid-East Ohio Council of Governments (MEORC) for provider support services. They assist with the initial and renewal provider certification process, compliance reviews, and billing questions. If you would like assistance, please contact Pennie Chappell at (740) 501-0553 or pchappell@meorc.com.
