Regan Patten is a goal-driven student finishing up her education in Health Information Technology at Terra State Community College. She has solid work experience and family support as she takes her next step and begins working in the health field upon graduation.

However, it didn’t come easily. Regan explained, “I have struggled with a learning disability involving math ever since I could remember.” She connected with Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities (OOD) and has benefitted from assistive technology and financial support.
“She is going to be a great employee, and any employer who hires her will be very lucky to have her,” said Tonya Mortimer, OOD Sr. Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor.
Regan shares her journey in this episode. Kristin Garrett, OOD Program Administrator, also joins the episode to discuss how OOD is supporting eligible college students with disabilities with financial support toward tuition and educational expenses, while participating in OOD services, during the 2022-2023 school year.
OOD can help ensure college students with disabilities have the support they need to complete their degree and/or credential, earn higher wages, and meet the demands of tomorrow’s labor market.
