Today in session, the Commissioners recognized March as Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month. Kristine Hodge, superintendent of the Delaware County Board of Developmental Disabilities, reported that more than 100 businesses in central Ohio currently offer meaningful employment opportunities for individuals with developmental disabilities. In Delaware County, more than 2,300 individuals with developmental disabilities—about 1% of the county’s total population—receive services from the board. This month offers the opportunity to celebrate the successes of those with developmental disabilities and to continue building a community where they are respected, included and empowered.
Our Domestic Relations Court was recently selected to pilot the Families in Transition Program, a research-backed parenting course featuring educational videos and interactive exercises.
The National Center for State Courts selected 12 courts in the country to pilot this initiative, which aims to reduce conflict and support healthier family transitions following separation and divorce.
“The FIT program is designed to provide early intervention for families going through conflict, teaching productive communication, emotional control, and conflict resolution,” said Judge Randall Fuller. “While we are in the NCSC Pilot Program, the FIT program will be free for the families participating in this online and on-demand program.”
