ABOUT STARK COUNTY DD AND OUR SERVICES

The Stark County Board of Developmental Disabilities provides services from infancy onward to nearly 3,000 Stark County residents with mild, moderate, severe, or profound mental retardation or other developmental disabilities. These services include school programs beginning with Early Intervention and Preschool, and continuing throughout the school-age years. For adults, we provide workshops and supported employment in the community. Senior citizens also benefit from specially designed programs. The Board also provides residential care in the community with appropriate supports based on individual needs. In addition to a variety of programs, the Board also provides transportation throughout Stark County to more than 1200 individuals, traveling more than two million miles annually.
