Frequently Asked Questions

WHERE CAN I FIND PROVIDERS?
You can find the list of certified providers of I.O. and Level One Waiver Services (and SELF too) by going to www.dodd.ohio.gov and clicking PROVIDER SEARCH.  We also maintain a list here on this website of those based in and around Stark County.

WHO CAN HELP ME?
Stark DD providers an SSA (Service and Support Administrator) who specializes in supporting you in the provider selection process.  If you would like to learn more about this resource please contact your assigned SSA who will make arrangments for you to receive support.  You can receive support to:
  • Locate the DODD website to see a list of providers.
  • Schedule interviews with providers you may be considering.
  • Post a referral of your information in this website so providers can review your information and let you know if they may be able to help you.

WHO CHOOSES MY PROVIDER?
You or your guardian choose!  You are free to choose a provider for any of your waiver services which might be an agency or an independent provider.  You can also identify  a person you would like to use as a provider and ask them to become a certified provider.
