The Hardin County Board of Developmental Disabilities recently received the highest rating possible following a review from the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities.

The three-year certification was awarded after an extensive review of Early Intervention (birth to age 3), Service and Support Administration (age 3 and up), and services for adults like personal care, supervision, and maintaining housing. The Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities focuses on the non-school activities of the Hardin Board of DD.

“We have extraordinary staff in all our programs. We focus on the needs of the people we serve in Hardin County and it shows,” says Kara Brown, Hardin County Board of DD Superintendent. “We offer a wide range of services to people of all ages. It takes a certain kind of person who can be both good at working with people and committed to following complicated Medicaid rules,” she said.
