The Arc of Ohio Facebook Groups for Families
With an ever changing system, staying informed is crucial. We hope this group will help families identify the resources they need to remain educated and up to date on the services that impact their lives. 

This g roup is for Ohio f amilies of all ages and disabilities to share information and resources regarding Ohio's HCBS Waivers to better advocate on behalf of people with I/DD.

We hope this group will help families identify the public policy issues they need to know in order to remain educated and up to date on the services that impact their lives as well as provide feedback on those policies.

Family Choice Program

The Arc of Ohio created the FCP to bridge the gap in services that some  people with I/DD and families have been experiencing through the Level 1, SELF and IO Waivers.

Services available through FCP: 
HPC, Transportation and Shared Living.

The FCP is based on the philosophy of self-determination and empowers people to enhance the quality of their lives by providing them with the opportunity for choice and control over their services and supports and by acknowledging that they are the best judges of their own needs and how those needs should be met.
