Ohio families may use Medicaid managed care, the Individual Options or Level One waivers, commercial insurance, and Help Me Grow. These routes use different eligibility rules, so a child can qualify for one service without receiving another automatically.

This directory currently has 54 therapy centers across 36 cities in Ohio. Listings and public programs are separate: confirm a provider's network status, credentialing, and current intake directly.
