Adult Advocacy Centers A Reference Guide to DD Self-Advocacy Groups in Ohio Summer 2021 Purpose and Acknowledgements This list was created by the Adult Advocacy Centers (AACs) and Ohio’s Developmental Disabilities (DD) Council, with support from Ohio’s independent living centers and the Ohio Self Determi- nation Association (OSDA). It is meant to provide contact information for self-advocacy groups that serve people with DD throughout the state. Statewide groups are listed first, followed by a list organized by county. Additional contributions from the community are welcome by emailing
