Welcome to OACB

On Monday, stakeholders from Ohio's Disability Services and Advocacy community gathered on the west lawn of the Ohio Statehouse to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).   The celebration included speeches by several advocates for the disabled including Michael Rench, Director of the Rehabilitation Services Commission and Ohio's First Lady, Frances Strickland. The event also featured the unavailing of a 30 foot long mural created by artists with various disabilities.

 

John Martin, Director of the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities; Jed Morrison, Superintendent of the Franklin County Board of Developmental Disabilities, and Dustin McKee, Policy Analyst of the OACB were on-hand to help celebrate 20 years of the ADA, which has helped to transform our country into a more accessible place for people with disabilities.
