Summit County DD Makes Changes to Encourage Inclusion (Part Two) – 2013-04-10
By Katie Sobiech
Integrating those with developmental disabilities into society has been a major goal of the Summit County Developmental Disabilities Board.
Two of their main focus areas have been inclusion in schooling and with job opportunities.
“The vision and mission of our board is to make sure that individuals with disabilities are participating in their own communities. That they’re working, living and learning in their own communities,” Billie Jo David, Director of the Office of Communications said.
Because of this, their well-known Weaver School closed its doors in 2007, transferring its students to other schools within the community.

Did you know that March was Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month?
In 1987, Ronald Reagan issued a proclamation to bring forth positive change in the lives of the developmentally disabled.
Locally, Summit County has made great strides in doing the best they can to serve and include those with developmental disabilities. The key has been to provide supports and services that allow those they serve to live typical lives. The largest entity, County of Summit Developmental Disabilities Board (Summit DD), is a great example of a successful community service, uniting just about every related program for services that come full circle.
