Ottawa County Board of MRDD

Mission Statement

To ensure availability of supports to eligible citizens with developmental disabilities in gaining inclusion in their community. Further, to assist individuals and their families in achieving a life that they establish for themselves

Board Philosophy

We have and want to maintain a rich and supportive community that supports the best Quality of Life.

We believe that all people have the right to self-determination and support from others. They have a social responsibility to take informed risks and make decisions.

Our community has many services to offer and we should avail those services for citizens with MRDD.

We believe the use of natural supports (family and friends) and public awareness is important to the success of citizens with MRDD being supported by and in the community.

We believe public dollars are to be used for supports, needed to support individuals in the community, when other funding and natural supports have been exhausted.

We will embrace change as a positive opportunity.

Seeing the gifts which every person brings reflects our belief that all people have abilities and talents that can be expressed through participation in their community.

We believe that we can develop and enhance supports that will bring people with mental retardation and developmental disabilities into the mainstream on our communities life.

Vision

  Individuals with MRDD will enhance their quality of life, quality of the community, and the lives of others by working toward their dreams
