    About Stark DD

    The first hints of community based services in Stark County began with parents of school age children who opened two classrooms in 1953. In 1967, the Ohio legislature passed a law establishing a Board of Developmental Disabilities in every county to provide schools, workshops, training centers and other services for children and adults with disabilities.

    Today, Stark DD is run by a seven-member board leveraging federal, state and local funds, and is responsible to the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities.
