DD Program Services
We provide individualized support services focused on dignity, inclusion, independence, and meaningful community connections. We work collaboratively with individuals, families, and providers to develop supportive strategies, coordinate services, and promote person-centered outcomes.
Behavior and Individual Support
We provide comprehensive, person-centered behavior support services that include functional assessments, data collection and analysis, individualized behavior strategies, provider and family training, ongoing consultation, implementation support, and team follow-along.
We also assist teams in understanding Ohio’s Behavior Support Rule, navigating the Human Rights Committee (HRC) process, such as with developing appropriate documentation when restrictive measures are necessary. By understanding the underlying reasons for behavior, we help individuals develop new skills, increase independence, reduce barriers to success, and improve their overall quality of life.
Training and Education
DPI believes effective training should do more than provide information—it should inspire confidence, encourage critical thinking, and translate into improved supports for individuals with developmental disabilities.
Our interactive training programs are designed for professionals, providers, caregivers, families, and community partners. From medication administration and workforce development to specialized topics addressing the complex needs of individuals with disabilities, DPI delivers relevant, practical education that can be customized to meet your organization’s goals.
Available in person or virtually, DPI trainings combine system expertise, real-world experience, and engaging teaching strategies. Many courses are approved for DoDD Continuing Education.

Training provided includes initial and renewal courses for medication administration, G/J-tube management, and insulin administration.
Sexual Risk Assessment (SRA)
A Sexual Risk Assessment (SRA) helps individuals, families, and support teams better understand the factors contributing to problematic sexual behaviors and identify practical strategies to reduce future risk. Designed for individuals age 16 and older who have engaged in or are at risk for problematic sexual behavior, the assessment evaluates areas such as cognitive functioning, sexual knowledge, trauma history, disability-related factors, and risk and protective factors.
Our assessments are grounded in evidence-based practices and utilize validated clinical assessment tools, standardized instruments, record reviews, interviews, and professional observations to provide objective, reliable findings. This comprehensive approach ensures recommendations are based on measurable data and clinical evidence.
The assessment provides individualized recommendations that help teams develop effective supervision strategies, behavior supports, education plans, and risk reduction measures while promoting safety, dignity, and community inclusion. Results may also assist Human Rights Committees and support teams in making informed decisions regarding restrictive measures and individualized supports.
Assessment Expertise
The SRA is conducted by an experienced clinician with specialized training in the assessment and treatment of problematic sexual behaviors. The assessor is certified by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, licensed through the Safer Society Foundation, trained under Dr. Randy Shively, Ph.D., and holds a Master of Social Work (MSW) and Licensed Social Worker (LSW) credential. This specialized expertise ensures assessments are evidence-based, objective, and tailored to the unique needs of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Sexual Knowledge Assessment (SKA)
A Sexual Knowledge Assessment (SKA) evaluates an individual’s understanding of healthy relationships, consent, boundaries, sexuality, and personal safety. Designed for individuals age 16 and older, the assessment helps determine whether a person has the knowledge and skills needed to make informed decisions regarding relationships or identifies areas where additional education and support may be beneficial.
The assessment provides practical recommendations that assist support teams in developing individualized sexuality education, strengthening decision-making skills, promoting healthy relationships, and reducing the likelihood of future problematic sexual behaviors. If significant risk factors or concerning thought patterns are identified, a comprehensive Sexual Risk Assessment may be recommended.
Trauma-Informed Biographical Timeline
Understanding a person’s life history is essential to developing meaningful, person-centered supports. DPI’s Trauma-Informed Biographical Timeline service helps teams explore significant life experiences, relationships, transitions, and events that may influence a person’s current needs, behaviors, communication, and responses to their environment.
Through a trauma-informed lens, DPI works with the individual, their support team, and those who know them best to identify patterns, strengths, and important experiences that provide context for current support needs. The information gathered can assist teams in developing compassionate, effective strategies that promote dignity, safety, choice, and quality of life.

Compliance Services
Dynamic Pathways supports organizations at every stage of the accreditation and provider review process. We partner with county boards of developmental disabilities and provider agencies to prepare for DODD accreditation reviews through readiness assessments, documentation reviews, mock reviews, staff education, and practical recommendations that strengthen compliance before the review occurs.
We also assist organizations following a completed accreditation review by developing plans of correction, evaluating appeal options when appropriate, implementing corrective actions, and strengthening systems that support long-term compliance and continuous quality improvement.
Our goal is not simply to help organizations meet regulatory requirements, it’s to build sustainable systems that reduce risk, strengthen services, and improve outcomes for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Human Rights Committee (HRC) Facilitation
Dynamic Pathways provides comprehensive Human Rights Committee (HRC) facilitation services that support county boards, providers, individuals, and families throughout the entire HRC process.

Our services extend far beyond meeting facilitation. We coordinate committee operations, monitor member attendance and required training, complete annual HRC analyses, provide consultation to support teams and families regarding the HRC process and Behavior Support Rule, and assist county boards with documentation and materials needed for DODD accreditation reviews. We also provide technical assistance and guidance on restrictive measures, informed consent, and HRC requirements to help teams navigate complex situations with confidence.
