With their help, the Allen County Board of Developmental Disabilities served nearly 1,400 individuals.
The board taking time to thank their provider partners that include services of education, employment, community support, and more. Last year they could not gather due to COVID, so it was a double recognition of 2020 and 2021 partners. The board recognizes that without their partners' support the services and programs provided to individuals with disabilities in Allen County would not be so vast.
Allen County Board of Developmental Disabilities Superintendent Theresa Schnipke explains, “Some of the unique people invited here are the companies from all over northwest Ohio that come into Allen County to provide those services. So, we’re very glad when we see them coming and we want to recognize them for all the work that they do.”
