Riverside’s core function is to coordinate and provide funding for services people need to live full lives. These services include in-home care, adult day services, job training and transportation. These services are funded in part through local levy dollars and are delivered through a network of local provider agencies and independent caregivers. Riverside also directly provides Early Intervention Services for children ages 0-3 with developmental delays through in-home services to help families stimulate development in communication skills, motor development, early learning skills and social-emotional development. Riverside also provides training for direct support staff to ensure the highest quality of care, as well as a multitude of learning opportunities, recreational activities, Special Olympics programs and other valuable services.

When targeting areas to improve achievement, schools and districts can add power through a state support team to assist and support their efforts.

State Support Teams are local and regional Ohio educators with a history in school improvement, preschool and special education. The Ohio Department of Education coordinates the 16 regional teams that cover Ohio and there is no cost to use the services.

State Support Team Region 10 serves schools in Clark, Darke, Greene, Miami, Montgomery and Preble Counties
