2021 DD Awareness Month Coloring and Essay Contest

March was Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month and that gave the Coshocton County community a great opportunity to create awareness, to learn more about inclusion and to share in the stories of individuals who live, work and thrive in our county. While the County Board of DD and its various provider agency partners are active year round in providing service and supports for those with developmental disabilities, March was a particularly fun time for us to highlight the important roles that individuals with developmental disabilities have within the fabric of our great community.

The Coshocton County Board of Developmental Disabilities would like to thank the elementary school students of Coshocton County for helping us celebrate. Most schools in our county participated in this project.
