The Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities (DCY) seeks proposals to deliver comprehensive professional development, training, and technical assistance aimed at expanding access to evidence‑based early childhood interventions for children birth‑through‑age‑five with developmental delays, disabilities, or learning needs. The effort will support Ohio PROMISE’s Centers of Excellence (CoE) by providing regionally‑based specialists, online resources, and coordinated consulting services to early‑care professionals, families, and state partners, fostering early identification and intervention for autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders. • Deliver training modules, workshops, and technical assistance to early‑childhood educators and service providers across Ohio. • Develop and disseminate online resources, toolkits, and evidence‑based practice guidelines for families and professionals. • Provide consultation and support for the Ohio PROMISE Program Designation and Professional Early Childhood Credential initiatives. • Assist families in navigating state‑funded financial assistance and enhanced payment options for children with disabilities. • Coordinate with the Ohio PROMISE Advisory Council and other state partners to ensure alignment with program goals.
