artners/Employment-First> Employment First Partnership between Opportunities
for Ohioans with Disabilities (OOD) and the Ohio Department of Developmental
Disabilities has expanded community employment services for adults with
developmental disabilities. Since implementation in federal fiscal year
(FFY) 2014, the partnership has improved competitive integrated employment
outcomes for adults with developmental disabilities who want to work in
their community.-
As a result of the success, resources dedicated to helping adults with
developmental disabilities find jobs have doubled since 2013. OOD staff with
dedicated caseloads grew from 15 to 30 to serve more people with
developmental disabilities across the state.
In addition, the partnership has five certified work incentive consultants
who are dedicated to provide work incentives planning and counseling
services to people served through the Employment First Partnership receiving
federal, state, and local benefits.

Khaliff Williams Finds a Sense of Purpose
<https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/OHOOD/2019/08/2753
784/2782482/khaliff_crop.jpg>
Khaliff Williams at his job.
Twelve years ago, Khaliff Williams lost his eyesight to diabetes. While
living in Columbus, Ohio in 2017, Williams worked with an OOD team who
helped him with a community-based assessment, job development, and
independent living skills training. Staff helped him obtain a long cane and
learn to navigate using it. Although he was close to obtaining employment in
Columbus, the opportunity fell through, and Williams decided to move to
Lima, Ohio and met with his vocational rehabilitation counselor, Stefanie
Motter.
Once Williams arrived in Lima, he needed help connecting with local
resources. Williams received services from Staci Miles, Job Developer with
Goodwill Easter Seals.
"Staci let me know that I could still work, that I'm still a person who can
contribute, and that I shouldn't give up because there is hope," said
Williams.
This past spring, Williams and Miles began looking into different employment
opportunities for Williams and came across a job opening for a dishwasher at
Applebee's. When they arrived at the interview, there were several other
candidates interested in the same position.
Maggie Alahmad, Applebee's General Manager, was skeptical. Alahmad stated,
"How is this person, who can't see, going to do this job?" After getting to
know Williams and sensing his determination, Alahmad offered Williams the
job.
In order to learn the job and the work environment, Williams was provided
orientation and mobility training and job coaching to help him succeed.
"By the time I began working with Khaliff in 2018, he appeared to have
become discouraged," said Motter. "Unexpected events caused him to move to a
smaller community where he did not know the available resources or potential
employers. Khaliff was excited to find work, and working has given him a
sense of purpose," Motter explained.
"Khaliff gets our dishes cleaner than any other dishwasher we have ever
had," said Alahmad. "He has a great spirit, personality, and is always so
positive. He brings that positivity to work and helps everyone from
management to employees. We are fortunate to have Khaliff on our team!"
"Khaliff really enjoys his job," said Miles. "He has many natural supports
at work and is considered a 'bright spot' by his coworkers," Miles added.
"Everyone with a disability needs to keep their head up and know there is
hope," said Williams. "There are people like Staci Miles at Goodwill Easter
Seals that can help get you back where you need to be."

Lima Hiring Event Connects Employers and Candidates

Individuals currently receiving services from OOD meet with employers at a
hiring event in Lima.
The Lima Bureau of Vocational Rehabilitation office held a hiring event on
August 8 for job seekers with disabilities. Eight employers participated,
including Crown Equipment, Vancrest Health Care, Graphic Packaging,
Management & Training Corporation (North Central Correctional Complex),
Manpower (P&G), Speedway, Sodexo (Bluffton University), and the Union Bank
Company.
John Ward from Lima attended the hiring event and felt prepared to interact
with employers. "OOD helped me with interviewing, selecting clothing for my
interview, and setting up transportation," said Ward. "I came because I'd
like to be working to help others as well as myself. And the extra income
would be beneficial," he added.

Fayna Askins, employment specialist, and John Ward, a job-seeker, at the
hiring event.
Fayna Askins, Employment Specialist for Goodwill Industries, worked with
Ward and was excited for him. "John has been a pleasure to work with. He
would be a great asset to any company looking for help with customer
service. John is respectful, responsible, and polite."
Also taking part in the hiring event was Elsa Ordonez-Moctezuma. She spoke
with representatives about jobs in customer service. Ordonez-Moctezuma has
been working with OOD on her resume and interviewing skills. Kelly
Christopher from Capabilities,Inc. is her career consultant. She said, "Elsa
is positive, upbeat, and compassionate! It is these qualities that will
benefit any employer and make her an asset. She also speaks fluent Spanish
and can be valuable in a situation where translation is needed. Elsa really
wants to work."

OOD uses a "Quick Stat Scorecard" to present key performance information for
OOD's Bureau of Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) and Division of Disability
Determination (DDD). Data is presented on a federal fiscal year basis for
the prior four years, as well as year-to-date for the current federal fiscal
year.
During a recent meeting, stakeholders with the provider community suggested
having the scorecards posted to the OOD website. These are now available at

OOD offers individualized employment services to those with disabilities.
Services include helping with disability management, training, job search,
and follow-up. Once an individual has been stable in the job for at least 90
days and is satisfied with their employment, OOD services come to a close.
Last month, a total of 584 individuals had OOD services come to a close. We
celebrate the success of each individual pursuing a successful career,
living more independently, and participating in their communities!
