Welcome Back, Kayla Ingles!

We’re excited to welcome Kayla Ingles back to the Gallia County Board of Developmental Disabilities in a new full-time role as a Classroom Educational Aide! 🎉

Kayla has been part of the GCBDD team since 2017 and has continued to stay connected with our students and staff by working as a substitute educational aide since the birth of her daughter three years ago. Now, she’s returning to the team full time!

When asked about her new position, Kayla said, “I'm thrilled to be given the opportunity to work as a classroom para (educational aide) again! I’ve watched these students grow over the years and I’m excited to be a part of their journey.”

We’re so happy to have Kayla back with us full time and can’t wait to see the impact she’ll continue to make in the classroom and in the lives of our students! 💙

Welcome back, Kayla! We’re so glad you’re here!

We’re excited to have Kelsey join our team and look forward to the experience, compassion, and dedication she will bring to the individuals and families we serve.
