Welcome to the Rock County Developmental
Disabilities Website
|
|
In 1973, the Rock County
Developmental Disabilities Board was established to comply with the
requirements of Chapter 51 of the Wisconsin State Statutes. Chapter
51.437 assigned responsibility for services to individuals with
developmental disabilities to a county operated agency. The Rock
County Board of Supervisors designated the Developmental
Disabilities Board to coordinate both financial and programmatic
services for developmentally disabled citizens in Rock County.
Coordination of services to developmentally disabled individuals was
designated to counties based upon the belief that people with
disabilities should have the opportunity to remain within their own
home counties and the services they receive would be more
appropriate if determined at the County level. | |
