Automatic Developmental Specialist Credential
Students completing Kent State’s Early Intervention Minor or Early Intervention Graduate Certificate automatically qualify for the five-year Developmental Specialist (DS) credential through the Ohio Department of Children and Youth (ODCY) and OCCRRA upon graduation.
The DS credential authorizes professionals to deliver specialized services to infants and toddlers with developmental delays and disabilities as part of Ohio’s statewide Early Intervention system. The County Boards of Developmental Disabilities are the largest employers of DS professionals across the state.
