State accredits Lawrence County Board of Developmental Disabilities

COAL GROVE — The Lawrence County Board of Developmental Disabilities was accredited by the State of Ohio for the quality services and supports it provides to individuals with developmental disabilities.

An accreditation certificate has been issued to the Board by the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities on Aug. 13.

A comprehensive review of the county board was conducted in April of this year by the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities (DODD). The accreditation review is a very rigorous and thorough process, spanning approximately six months.

A team of surveyors from DODD reviewed all areas of County Board operations, including personnel administration, services and support, and other indicators of general efficiency and effectiveness of the County Board in the community it serves.

The results of the review found that the LCBDD achieved substantial compliance with minimum standards and subsequently obtained a 4-year period of accreditation.
