UlkPSYmJg==&&&100&&&https://ood.ohio.gov/> Opportunities for Ohioans with
Disabilities (OOD) Director Kevin Miller took part in the "Building an
Inclusive Ohio" panel discussion that was part of the AIM Hire: Workforce
and Education Conference. Co-sponsored by Ohio Excels, a new nonpartisan
coalition of business leaders and the Governor's Office of Workforce
Transformation, the conference took place at the Sheraton Capitol Square in
Columbus. The event brought together Ohio business and education leaders to
strengthen collaboration and better prepare students and employees for
success.
Ohio Excels recognizes the important role it must play in addressing Ohio's
education and workforce challenges. One of those challenges is inclusion of
all Ohioans in the new economy, including minorities, women and those with
disabilities.The purpose of the panel was to educate audience members about
why it is critical to build a more inclusive Ohio.
"There are 1.6 million Ohioans who self-identify as having a disability, and
870,000 of them are eligible to work," stated Director Miller as he opened
the panel. "Our job at OOD is to help them find their purpose, participate
in their communities and achieve financial independence. Work should always
be the first option."
Director Miller went on to share that one of Governor Mike DeWine's top
priorities is for Ohio to be a disability inclusion state. He pointed out
that the

ine%27s%20Proposed%20OOD%20Budget%20for%20Fiscal%20Year%202020-2021.pdf>
Governor's proposed budget for OOD supports this priority by investing in
funding for direct services for students with disabilities who are working
toward a credential or college degree that will help ensure they earn higher
wages and meet the demands of tomorrow's labor market.
"One of the first things we need to do is change tactics and the mentality
regarding job possibilities for those with disabilities," said Miller. "In
order for Ohio to be an inclusion state, we are going to have to break
stereotypes."
Director Miller challenged employers to hold up the mirror to their
organizations. He explained that the State of Ohio had to look at its own
record and ask, "Why don't we have more people with disabilities working for
us? Were we doing everything possible to ensure our agencies were accessible
to job seekers with disabilities?"
He went on to explain the benefits of an inclusive workforce. "When you hire
people with disabilities, both production and retention goes up," said
Miller. "We need to raise disability awareness in the workplace to promote
inclusion and diversity," he added.

Danielle Fedak received a job on the spot at a recent hiring event.
McDonald's franchisee, Tomtreyco, Inc., worked with OOD staff in Youngstown
to hold a hiring event earlier this year in January. The employer, so
pleased with the results, reached out to OOD again in April to help fill
vacancies for the newly remodeled McDonald's in Canfield.
"By partnering with OOD, we have been able to maintain our staffing levels,
grow our company and provide employment opportunities to people who may not
get to work otherwise," said Michaela Morris, Human Resource Specialist and
People Ambassador for Tomtreyco, Inc. "Individuals with disabilities have a
place in each of our restaurants and help us serve our communities," Morris
added. "It's all about finding their niche."
Dan Williams, an OOD job developer in Youngstown, immediately began working
to put this event together. With the cooperation of other staff in
Youngstown and

on May 3 at the Mahoning County OhioMeansJobs (OMJ) Center. Interviews,
exclusively for those with disabilities, were held in the morning. In the
afternoon, Mahoning OMJ job seekers participated in interviews. Seven OOD
participants interviewed, and three were offered jobs that same day. Two
candidates required further consideration due to scheduling and
availability, and one candidate interviewed for a management position.
Danielle Fedak was one of the OOD participants who received a job on the
spot. She said, "It felt pretty great to be hired! I was surprised at how
fast it happened, but I was so glad that I got the job!"
Williams explained, "Even though this was a smaller event than ones we have
had in the past, the fact that the employer reached out to us, and we
quickly worked together, makes this one of our most successful hiring
events. With help from our partners at OMJ, job seekers got hired right on
the spot."

the Social Security Administration as recipients of the 2019 Commissioner's
Honor Awards for outstanding achievements and service to the public during
Federal Fiscal Year 2018.
"This is a well-deserved honor for both Scott Wade and Keith Adams," said
Director Kevin Miller. "They have gone above and beyond in their duties by
enhancing our technology systems to serve claimants as efficiently as
possible."
Scott Wade received the Commissioner's Commendation Team Award in
recognition of his extraordinary teamwork and special assistance to Puerto
Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. "I am honored to have been asked to assist
in helping Puerto Rico's Disability Determination Services after Hurricane
Maria and the great damage it caused," said Wade. "I consider myself lucky
to be part of OOD, an organization that helps so many people," he added.
Wade has been with DDD for 23 years. He began his career in vocational
rehabilitation prior to joining the information technology (IT) staff. As
part of IT, Wade has supported a range of customers and developed programs
and methods to aid OOD and disability determination offices in other states.
Currently, Wade is Systems Architect/Consultant, working on a new Case
Processing System that will be used nationally.
Keith Adams received the Commissioner's Disability Program Leadership Award
in recognition of his overall commitment to providing excellent service,
contributions and teamwork in the national rollout of the Disability Case
Processing System (DCPS). As one of the original members of this team, Adams
provided feedback, participated in beta testing and provided training on
DCPS to new staff members. "It is a great privilege to receive the
Disability Program Leadership Award," said Adams. "There are so many
individuals who have put in hard work designing, improving and rolling out
DCPS, and I am truly honored to be recognized for my efforts with the
system."
Adams has been with DDD for ten years and currently serves as a Senior
Disability Claims Adjudicator. Previously, Adams was a member of the
Anti-Fraud Work Group from 2011-2013 which achieved the highest savings to
the Social Security program in 2011/2012. The Anti-Fraud Team received the
spring 2013 Employee Excellence in Service Award for their work in this
area. Adams has also been a member of the Fast Track team since 2016,
accurately processing Quick Disability Determination, Compassionate
Allowances and Military Casualty Claims for DDD.

Social media platforms can be challenging for people with disabilities to
access, but there are best practices to promote accessible posts. It is
important for businesses, organizations and agencies to promote
accessibility in their social media strategies. After all, an effective
organization depends on engaging customers and clients as well as having a
diverse, well-prepared workforce. Accessible information and technology are
essential for both.
