🇺🇸 Stark DD will be closed Monday, September 7, in observance of Labor Day.

Labor Day has been celebrated for more than a century as a time to recognize the contributions of America’s workers and the role they play in building strong communities.

At Stark DD, we believe those contributions include people of all abilities. People with developmental disabilities bring their talents, skills and perspectives to workplaces throughout Stark County — earning a paycheck, building careers, contributing to local businesses and being part of their communities.

That’s what our mission is all about: connecting people with developmental disabilities to supports and opportunities that help them live the life they want — at home, at work and in their community.

This Labor Day, we celebrate the value of work, the dignity of opportunity and everyone whose contributions make Stark County stronger.

Stark DD offices and programs will reopen Tuesday, September 8.

🚨If there is an emergency involving the health or safety of a child or adult with intellectual/developmental disabilities, please call our MUI Hotline at 330-477-4477. This Hotline is answered 24/7.

This is why “This Fair’s for You” matters. 💙💚

We loved seeing this group from Ellis Michael Healthcare Services at the Stark County Fair today! They stopped by Stark DD’s Universal Changing Station during their day at the Fair—and were kind enough to let us grab a group photo before heading back to the fun. 🎡

The Universal Changing Station gives fairgoers who need it a safe, private and accessible space for personal care, helping make a full day at the Fair possible for more people.

If you’re visiting this week, remember we’re here for you! Find the trailer across from the Sheriff’s Station ( #36), near the amusement rides.

Because this Fair’s for you—all of you.
