Accessible Ohio 	

Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities (OOD) invites you to share your
ideas as we continue to implement the Accessible Ohio initiative. Please
join us for the second Accessible Ohio Feedback Forum on Thursday, November
9 at 10 a.m.

Accessible Ohio is the first-ever coordinated effort to support Ohio's
businesses, communities, attractions, and venues in becoming more accessible
and inclusive. Accessible Ohio Specialists consult directly with partners to
identify barriers, establish goals for accessibility, connect them with
helpful resources, and provide information about potential funding
resources.

Join us to provide valuable feedback as we develop the Accessible Ohio
Playbook six-part webinar series, create tools and resources for the
Accessible Ohio website, and plan for the first-ever Accessible Ohio
Conference & Expo. We seek your input on these topics, and others, as we
strive to make Ohio more accessible and inclusive for all.

The Accessible Ohio Feedback Forum will be hosted on the Microsoft Teams
Webinar platform. Registration is required to attend. To register, please
visit the registration site

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
