The Tuscarawas County Board of Developmental Disabilities (TuscBDD) arose from a grassroots effort by parents and concerned citizens in 1955 to provide educational services to 12 children with developmental disabilities through the creation of Starlight School.
Over time, Starlight School has evolved into TuscBDD, which is a publicly funded county governmental entity offering an array of programs for over 500 eligible individuals.
We officially became Tuscarawas County Board of Developmental Disabilities in October 2009.
We are here to ensure that these residents have available to them the programs, services and supports necessary to help them enjoy a fuller, richer life.
