Who Benefits
The Monroe County Board of DD funds the basic, essential needs of eligible people with developmental
disabilities
and ensures their health, safety and well-being. Supports can begin at birth and continue
throughout
a person’s entire life, 24/7, 365 days per year. Supports are delivered by various providers
and
we help people choose the provider that is right for them.  We also monitor the
supports to make sure people are satisfied with what they are receiving.

Who Administers the Program
            Seven community leaders, including parents of enrollees are appointed by the County
           Commissioner and Probate Judge to the Board, which plans for all programs
and sees that qualified staff is hired to provide services.
