Admissions

Any working-aged person with a vocational disability meeting admission criteria is eligible for ODC services. A referral can be made by contacting your local Division of Rehabilitation Services Office, County Social Services Agencies or other public agencies serving individuals with disabilities. Further information may be received by contacting the coordinator at any of the ODC locations listed on the locations page of the website.
The ODC does not exclude individuals from its programs based solely on orthopedic or neurological disabilities, sight or hearing impairments, lack of communication skills, lack of activities of daily living skills, severity of physical or mental disabilities, behavioral concerns or past programming history.
In the event a supportive service is needed by a program participant and such services are not available through the ODC, the referral agent or county case manager will be asked to coordinate the additional service needed by the participant.
