How We Help

The Montgomery County Board of Developmental Disabilities Services is the local government agency that coordinates services and funding for eligible children and adults who are residents of Montgomery County, Ohio, and have a qualifying diagnosis of an intellectual or developmental disability.

• Residential Services, to include rental homes in the community, supported living homes, and Intermediate Care Facilities
