The Clark County Board of MR/DD directs support to citizens with mental retardation, and other developmental disabilities, and their families living in Clark County, Ohio.

What We Believe:A person's preferences, choices, and desires demand our respect. Services must focus on the person. They should build on relationships and foster growth, responsibility and individual knowledge.
Services should connect the individual to their community.

Mission: We assist people with MR/DD, and families, in living, working and participating in our community.

Who We Serve: People, of all ages who reside in Clark County and have mental retardation or a developmental disability. To be eligible, all disabilities must be substantiated. An Application for Services form signed by the parent, legal guardian or the individual, if his or her own legal guardian, indicating what services are requested must be submitted

MRDD Guiding Principles:
 
The following principles inform our decisions and guide our work:
 
1. A person's preferences, choices, and desires demand our respect and should be reflected in the individual's plan and its cost structure.
 
2. Services must focus on the person; build on relationships; and foster growth, responsibility, and individual knowledge.
 
3. Services should connect the individual to his or her community.
 
4. Services/Service design should be continually evaluated.
 
5. Services should be accountable to the individual, his or her family, the community and the taxpayer.
 
6. To meet the needs of the greatest number of people, we must be efficient in our resources.
 
We collaborate with other agencies to maximize resources. We won't duplicate services that other agencies are mandated to provide.
