Ohio DD Talks
The mission of the Ohio Developmental Disabilities Council (DD Council) is to create change that improves independence, productivity and inclusion for people with developmental disabilities and their families in community life. The DD Council consists of members, most who are people with disabilities, appointed by the governor. Our videos highlight our Council members and the work of DD Council and its grantees. We also strive to bring attention to both the challenges and successes experienced by people with disabilities. Be sure to visit our website at http://www.ddc.ohio.gov.
