Individuals and their families/guardians have the right to Free Choice of Provider. The Service and Support Administrator (SSA) will ensure you have guided access to all the resources and tools needed to assist you in choosing providers within the community that can help you achieve your vision of a good life. The Hancock County Board of DD only works with providers that are certified by the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities (DODD).
