The
St. Louis Office for Developmental Disability
Resources (DD Resources) was created by the Missouri legislature in 1969. The legislation, known as the County
Sheltered Workshop and Developmental Disability Services Law, allows voters to
approve a real estate tax to provide services to persons with developmental disabilities.
DD Resources was incorporated in 1980. St. Louis
city residents with developmental disabilities are able to live fuller lives through the
support of St. Louis city taxpayers. DD Resources
distributes funds for community based services to persons who have developmental disabilities that desire to remain in their
home and community. Service providers
offer a variety of services ranging from life skills development, job training, continuing education, habilitation, and socialization. Developmental Disabilities require early detection and assistance. DD Resources serves persons of all ages with the following developmental disabilities: w mental retardation w cerebral
palsy w epilepsy w autism (these disabilities must be diagnosed
before one’s 18th birthday) one must meet the functional definition of a developmental disability |
