"Ohio's Multi-Dimensional Approach Toward a Positive Culture"
John Martin
Director
Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities
Ohio's Department of Developmental Disabilities led a statewide
effort toward banning the use of prone restraint, and limited use of restraints
in general, across all of Ohio's systems. Having persons representing prisons,
state police, education, mental health and others, and using the language
of the state's Positive Culture Initiative, was a unique experience offering
opportunities to effect real change. A key effort in the State of Ohio was
instilling ownership of the effort at the local level, rather than directed
by the state, opening the door to a grassroots culture change.

Jon Fortune
Senior Policy Analyst
Human Service Research Institute (HSRI)
This was a clinic for policymakers who increasingly seek to
restructure state resource allocation practices for individuals with developmental
disabilities. They are doing so in response to various pressures, like increasing
service demand, budget shortfalls, and a reliance on legacy systems, but are
also seeking to achieve greater system efficiency and equity. Presented in
conjunction with three states that have made significant progress in these
areas, this clinic covered the major 10 issues facing states. What is the
big picture? What have we learned from all the states? What do states have
to think about if they go down this path?
