A group from Lorain Opportunity and Vocational Center recently enjoyed a wonderful Fall visit to Schlechter Brothers Country Harvest in Amherst. With the season kicking off in beautiful weather, participants had the chance to take a fun and informative hayride through the pumpkin fields. Brothers Will and Carl Schlechter, who have been growing pumpkins for decades, shared their knowledge and love of farming, making the day both educational and memorable!

This week is National Direct Support Professional (DSP) week. Earlier this week at our Oberlin Opportunity and Vocational Center, Management staff brought the entire DSP staff donuts and we also had a yogurt buffet with fresh fruit.

Today, our very own Habilitation Manager, John Syrowski greeted our staff with a sign dressed like a bear and had a blast skipping around the parking lot as the staff arrived 😊

Thank you to all our DSPs ❤️ You are appreciated for your hard work each and every day!!

A group from our Lorain Opportunity and Vocational Center enjoyed a visit to Petitti Garden Center, where they explored the beautiful new fall flowers and plants. The group also had a great time posing for pictures as scarecrows for some seasonal fun.

Helping People...For a Lifetime.

Our mission is to ensure the availability of services and supports that assist eligible individuals in living the life they choose; to promote their health and safety; and to assist and support the families of these individuals in achieving these goals.

For 50 years, the Lorain County Board of Developmental Disabilities, more commonly known as Murray Ridge Center, has been providing lifelong services for Lorain County citizens with developmental disabilities. Our broad range of services and supports assist more than 2,000 individuals and their families annually. Murray Ridge Center has facilities throughout Lorain County, including the Administrative offices, Supported Employment offices, Murray Ridge School, Service & Support Administration offices, and three Opportunity/Vocational Centers located in Elyria, Lorain, and Oberlin. All our efforts may be summed up in these words: “Helping people…for a lifetime,” and we never forget that it is both our duty and our privilege to fulfill our mission every day.
