Our Mission
To assist in providing services to the citizens of the City of St. Louis with Mental Retardation &/ Developmental Disabilities

The St. Louis Office for Developmental Disability 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 mental retardation and/or developmental disabilities. The St. Louis Office for 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. The St. Louis Office for Developmental Disability 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 daily living skills, job training, transportation, residential opportunities, and related services.

Developmental disabilities are lifelong and require early detection and assistance. DD Resources serves persons of all ages with the following disabilities:
