We're moving! 📢

To make it easier for you to stay connected and find resources, we're merging our accounts to bring Ohio College2Careers and Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities (OOD) together in one place.

This account will be closing soon, but you can continue to follow our work, resources, success stories, and updates on our main OOD account: @OhioOOD.

Thank you for being part of our community and supporting opportunities for Ohioans with disabilities, in the classroom and outside of it. ❤️

This month, we're March-ing toward goals, one step at a time! 🪴

Did you know March is #DevelopmentalDisabilitiesAwarenessMonth?

This month—and every month—we celebrate the contributions, talents, and leadership of individuals with disabilities, including students.

Together, we hope to continue building campuses and workplaces where everyone belongs and has the support they need to succeed. ❤️

Today, we celebrate #InternationalWomensDay and the incredible women who lead, mentor, advocate, and serve every day. 🙌

We're proud to recognize the women in our leadership who help shape disability-inclusive policies, expand access, and empower students with disabilities across Ohio. Their dedication strengthens our organization and the communities we serve.

#SpringSaturday: Bloom Where You're Planted 🌷

Spring is a reminder that growth doesn't happen overnight. It happens quietly, consistently, and in the space you're already in.

Let's take a moment to reflect this Saturday:

What's one area of your life where you're growing this semester? 🌱

What's one small step you can take this week to keep blooming? 🌱

You don't have to have everything figured out to be making progress, either. Bloom where you're planted also means in your own time!

Today is #WorldHearingDay, a reminder of the importance of hearing health, accessibility, and disability-inclusive communication (especially on our college campuses!). 👂

For many students, access to captioning, assistive technology, note-taking support, or quiet learning spaces makes all the difference. Creating disability-inclusive learning environments means making sure everyone can participate, including students who are Deaf, DeafBlind, or hard of hearing.

If you have questions about our services, we're here to help. Visit https://t.co/snGd6r5seq to learn more.

Happy Monday! 💪

Remember—opportunities don't always arrive looking perfect or easy. Sometimes they show up as challenges, new directions, or unexpectedly closed doors. The key is staying open, staying optimistic, and saying yes to growth. Don't get caught up in setbacks. You've got this!

Around 300 million people worldwide are living with a rare disease—that's more than 30 million in the U.S. alone—and while each condition is unique, the need for understanding, access, and support is shared by all.

On #RareDiseaseDay, we stand with the students, families, caregivers, and advocates whose resilience and leadership strengthen our campus communities every day.

Awareness starts with action. You can help by:

🔎 Learning about rare diseases
🔬 Supporting research and funding efforts
💜 Listening to shared experiences
🤝 Showing compassion in every space

#WinterWednesday: Confidence & Calendars 📱

Confidence doesn't always come from having everything figured out. Sometimes it starts with typing it out! Using your phone's calendar to map out deadlines, exams, work shifts, and personal time can help you feel more in control and less overwhelmed.

Try this:

✅ Add all major due dates first.
✅ Break big projects into smaller steps.
✅ Color coordinate so things don't get confusing.
✅ Schedule in study time and rest.

Need help creating a system that works for you? Reach out to your Ohio College2Careers counselor today.

As a child, Lois Curtis faced institutionalization due to schizophrenia and developmental disabilities, as well as a lack of state resources. She desperately wanted to live and participate in her community, which drove her to file a lawsuit against the state of Georgia. The resulting Supreme Court ruling known as the Olmstead Decision stated that forcing individuals with disabilities to live in segregated institutions violated the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and that community living was not just a preference—it was a civil right. Lois was also a visual artist known for colorful portraits, and she even presented her artwork to President Barack Obama.

If your needs change this semester, that's okay. 💙

Classes evolve, schedules shift, and what worked before might need adjusting. That's why we offer ongoing support all semester. We can help ensure your plans continue to work for you.

Reach out anytime to connect with your counselor and talk through next steps. You don't have to navigate college alone. Visit https://t.co/snGd6r5seq to learn more.

When Donald Galloway lost his vision as a child, he didn’t let his disability hinder his education or activism. He became a junior member of the NAACP and the National Federation of the Blind, working to ensure people of color were part of the disability rights conversation. Donald worked for the Berkeley Center for Independent Living, eventually leading the D.C. branch. He was denied jury duty in D.C. due to his blindness, which led him to file a lawsuit that ultimately upheld the constitutional rights of those with disabilities.

Happy #ValentinesDay! 💕

Today we're celebrating love and community. Loving someone with a disability means recognizing their strengths, respecting their needs, and supporting access every day.

It also means letting them know how much they are loved! Share this post to say Happy Valentine's Day to the students, families, friends, and loved ones who make your life brighter.

#WinterWednesday: Long Nights & Note Taking 📝

Long winter nights = the perfect time to level up your notes! 📓

Try breaking your notes into clear sections, highlighting key ideas, and adding quick summaries at the end of each page. Small tweaks can make studying easier later (your future self will thank you!).

Need strategies that work with your learning style? We're here to help.

Fueled by the discrimination she faced, Johnnie Lacy became a prominent activist for the Black Disability community and the Independent Living Movement. When polio left her paralyzed, Johnnie was initially denied access to higher education due to her disability. She was ultimately allowed to attend San Francisco State University, and after graduation, she helped create the Berkeley Center for Independent Living. Her lifetime of advocacy also helped pave the way for the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

If your college journey had a soundtrack, support would be the steady background beat. 🎶

Sometimes it's loud and clear when you need guidance. Sometimes it's quiet—just knowing someone is there to help if things get overwhelming. That's where we come in!
