Monday, August 30, 2021 (1:00-2:00 p.m.)
“I can’t work because I will lose my benefits!” If this statement sounds familiar, this training is for you! Lisa Comes from OACB and Keith Banner from DODD will share resources and tools to help participants learn about ways to maintain critical services and supports for people with DD while they work and use “F.E.A.R.” – Facts, Evaluation, Action, and Results – to their benefit! Presenters will be joined by Christine Brown (Nisonger Center), Tanya Chiles (Benefit Analyst/CWIC, Owner of Chiles Creations, LLC), Jeanne Hall (Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities), Elizabeth Risner (Butler DD Employment Coordinator) and Darenda Geer (Fairfield DD Work Incentive Practitioner) to share their expertise.
