Direct Support Professionals are leaving the field every day at an alarming rate. Many Direct Support Professionals for people with developmental disabilities can’t feed their families with what they are being paid. This is because developmental disability providers are locked into reimbursement rates set by the State of Ohio. Only action by state officials can resolve this issue.

"My job coach helps me with what I need to know and what I need to do for my job. You all [Employment Services] show me how to get through a lot of things I am not used to. You all are very supportive and always available when I need help or just a little question." - Taylor H
Nathan
"Nathan has overcome his previous struggles with riding transportation. He is now ready to go when picked up in the morning and happily tells everyone “Bye-bye” when dropped off in the afternoon." Carol (parent/guardian)
Eric
“When we recycle, we work together and work as a team. Justin (Employment Discovery Specialist) helps us. I think it’s a good program.”
Cheryl
"My mom wanted me to come to RT because it is a good place. I have stuck around all these years because they take me out to do the things I love. I get to see my friends, go out to eat, go shopping, get coffee, go bowling, and go to Hobby Lobby to make my crafts. Staff help me go anywhere I tell them."
