These conditions typically emerge during a person’s developmental stage, can affect daily functioning, and often persist throughout their lifetime.

Say hello to Mary Therese in today's Employee Spotlight. She is an Investigative Agent in the MUI Unit. Mary Therese shares that she likes working at Cuyahoga DD because no day is the same. "I enjoy working with the individuals we serve, their teams, and our community partners. I learn something new just about every day I come to work," she said. Fun fact: Mary Therese's family has owned a sheep farm in Southern Ohio since 2001. At any given time, they raise 60 to 120 sheep! #EmployeeSpotlight #BestStaff #CuyahogaDD Image description: Employee Spotlight Mary Therese, Investigative Agent, with her smiling brightly to the left.
