Cuyahoga County Board of Developmental Disabilities

About Us

At the Cuyahoga County Board of DD, we recognize that dedicated employees are our greatest resource. Our employees play a key role in supporting and empowering people with developmental disabilities of all ages to live, learn, work and play in the community and live the lives they desire. In 1967, the diverse community leaders who founded the Cuyahoga County Board of DD crossed cultural, religious and economic boundaries to make a difference through collective action. Today, diversity and inclusion remain vital to achieving our mission.

High-quality customer service and a positive culture are leading values of our organization. We want to enhance and, at times, improve the life experiences for the people we support. To this end, building and maintaining positive and effective relationships with one another, the individuals and families we support, and our vast array of community partners is paramount. It takes all of us, each employee in his/her role, working together to help people with developmental disabilities have meaningful lives and participate as full members of the community.

The Cuyahoga DD recruits and retains outstanding individuals who are committed to our mission of supporting and empowering people with developmental disabilities to live, learn, work and play in the community. We seek to attract diverse staff who desire to inspire, to promote abilities and talents, to foster inclusion is all aspects of community life, and to hold themselves and others to high expectations.
