Hamilton County DD Services works with local businesses and agencies like Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities and Ohio Means Jobs to help people discover opportunities and navigate the path to employment. Our agency and vocational service providers assist job seekers throughout every step of the process, so each person can develop the necessary skills to become a valued employee.

Along with support and funding, we help find solutions to potential barriers such as the job application process, transportation, accessibility and accommodations to help people work in the community. When businesses hire people with disabilities, they gain dependable, engaged, highly motivated and productive employees who are capable in a wide range of jobs. Our agency and partners have helped individuals secure jobs in retail, medical, food service, manufacturing and a variety of other industries. 
Hamilton County DD Services is committed to the success of each person we serve.

A service and support administrator (SSA) is the primary point of coordination for people receiving services through HCDDS. SSAs are available for adults and children. Our SSAs get to know each person and learn what they want or needs for a good life, respecting that person’s choices and their support team. SSAs connect people to provider agencies, community resources, and funding sources to achieve their life goals. An SSA will help you explore person-centered supports based on your unique needs and funding sources. Click here to learn more about the role of an SSA. If you want an SSA, contact our I&E team to discuss your needs and how those needs can be met.

For those who do not want or need the frequent service of an SSA, we offer Support Navigators. Support Navigators work with people who receive minimal or no services, but who want to maintain an assigned contact should their needs change in the future. Support Navigators will reach out to people on their caseloads regularly to check in and ensure a person’s needs are being met.
