Who We Help

Our organization supports individuals of all ages with developmental disabilities, which encompass a range of conditions resulting from limitations in physical, cognitive, language, or behavioral areas. These conditions typically emerge during a person’s developmental stage, can affect daily functioning, and often persist throughout their lifetime.

The Family Supports Program provides funding for items and programs that enrich your life.

Cuyahoga DD is excited to introduce an employee recognition program that honors the dedication, compassion, and hard work of our staff. 

We encourage individuals and families served by Cuyahoga DD, provider partners, community members, and fellow employees to shout-out employees who go above and beyond in supporting people with developmental disabilities. 

Whether it’s a simple act of kindness, exceptional service, or ongoing dedication that makes a difference, we want to hear about it. 

Your stories help showcase the incredible impact our staff makes every day and remind us all of the importance of meaningful connections and person-centered support. 

We will share these stories internally with staff and on social media! 

Share your story at cuyahogadd.org/staff-shout-out.
