WHO WE ARE
A long tradition of services
Darke County Board of Developmental Disabilities has been helping our neighbors for more than 50 years. We’re a person-centered agency with deep roots in the community. We draw on that experience to serve Darke County, every day.
Community Accessibility
Accessibility in our community is essential to ensuring that individuals of all abilities can access the places and activities that interest them. Darke DD secured a $550,000 grant from the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities to enhance accessibility throughout our county. A short video provides more details about these projects. You can find a list of all the accessibility projects by visiting the Resources page on our website and clicking on "Community Accessibility."
