APA WF# 24-31A&B Removal of Outdated Language

The proposed policy changes are being promulgated as Permanent Rules.

OHCA will update its policy to remove outdated and inappropriate language in OHCA policy chapters 30 & 35. Specifically, references to "mentally retarded" and "mental retardation" will be replaced with the more respectful term "individuals with intellectual disabilities" or "intellectual disability." This update aims to ensure that the language in policy reflects current terminology, promoting dignity and inclusivity.
