Hocking County Board of Developmental Disabilities

Hocking County Board of Developmental Disabilities Hocking County Board of DD is committed to providing comprehensive life-spanning services for individuals with Developmental Disabilities.

Hocking County Board of DD is committed to providing comprehensive life spanning services for individuals with developmental disabilities. The individuals being served are the cornerstone for these services provided by the Board and shall be promoted through the Board’s commitment as follows:

The Hocking County Board of DD offers services through a coordinated and cooperative team effort utilizing the skills and talents of all staff members. Each person is recognized for their worth and value to the community. Each person will be treated in ways which show value, dignity, and respect. Each person deserves equal treatment. This includes equal educational, vocational, and habilitation opportunities. Each person’s physical and mental abilities are different. Equal in this sense does not necessarily mean the “same”. It is recognized that various types of environments are needed for different individuals. Services should be provided in the least restrictive environment on a person-by-person basis. Each person has certain rights - the right to develop, succeed, fail, take risks, make choices, and to have social interaction and meaningful relationships with others. Each eligible person will have the opportunity to develop their capabilities to the fullest potential. The emphasis is a working partnership with the individual, family, and community to provide a well-planned continuum of quality services. Services will be planned according to self-directed choices and needs. This will be accomplished by maximizing community service and by utilizing the natural supports in the individual’s life. Service delivery will be done in a collaborative fashion. Staff will participate in state-of-the-art training and be provided the necessary supports to successfully work with individuals and their families.

☃️❄️🤶UPDATE: Today, we finished our visits to each 4th-grade classroom! Stay tuned for the opportunity to vote for the billboard contest winner! The top two submissions will be posted here for the community to vote on (coming in January).

March—Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month—is right around the corner! We’re excited to share that a winning piece from our 4th-grade art contest will once again be featured on a local billboard to celebrate DD Awareness Month.
This year, our Superintendent, Jill Squires, along with several team members, is visiting each school to talk with students about our program, introduce the art contest, and read a book about inclusion. We have already visited Central Elementary, and we are scheduled to visit the remaining schools this week and next.
Every student will receive a folder with the contest flyer, blank paper, and a box of crayons so they have everything they need to create their artwork based on this year’s theme: “What Acceptance Means to Me.”
A huge thank-you to Walmart for donating the reusable tote bags that help us deliver supplies to teachers—your support makes a difference!

Visual Description:
A dynamic, high-energy flyer announces an important update for Hocking County Wheelchair Basketball. The background has a dramatic effect that makes the page appear as if its edges are glowing or lightly burning, giving the impression that the flyer itself is on fire.
At the center of the design is a large basketball engulfed in swirling flames, creating a sense of motion and intensity. The fiery basketball serves as the main visual focal point.
