Champaign County Board of Developmental Disabilities

What Champaign County Board of Developmental Disabilities does

The Champaign County Board of Developmental Disabilities (CCBDD) is a county governmental agency established under Ohio Revised Code Chapter 5126, headquartered at 224 Patrick Avenue, Urbana, Ohio. It provides, coordinates, and monitors services and supports for eligible individuals with developmental disabilities — from birth through adulthood — across Champaign County, serving more than 380 individuals. Core service lines include Early Intervention (birth–age 3, delivered in natural environments by developmental specialists and OT/PT/SLP therapists), Service & Support Administration (case management, person-centered planning, eligibility determination, and local funding administration), Community Education and Outreach (employment navigation, social clubs, Special Olympics, Kiwanis Aktion Club), and Autism/Sensory Resources, which encompass the Autism Diagnosis Education Program (ADEP) administered with OCALI and Akron Children's Hospital, and the evidence-based P.L.A.Y. Project for children 0–6. Additional resources include an Assistive Technology / Tech Hub, accessible housing (13 homes through a non-profit housing board partnership), STABLE account support, and an Incident Reporting / MUI investigation system governed by Ohio Administrative Code 5123:2-17-02.

The underlying operating model is a service-coordination platform built on Ohio's Individual Service Plan (OISP) framework, paired with assistive and remote-support technology for adults. Service delivery is distributed — in homes, schools, daycares, and community settings — rather than centralized at a facility, and is supported through a network of contracted provider agencies (e.g., Creative Foundations, PCS, Downsize Farm, CRSI) coordinated and monitored by CCBDD. The organization is governed by a seven-member board (five appointed by Champaign County Commissioners, two by the probate judge), with an executive team led by Superintendent Leigh Anne Wenning and four program directors (Finance & Operations, SSA, Community Education and Outreach, Early Intervention).

CCBDD is funded through local property tax levies, state appropriations via the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities (DODD), and federal Medicaid/Medicare dollars. All services are provided at no cost to eligible individuals; there is no commercial pricing model. Strategic alliances are central to the model — notably with Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities (OOD) for competitive employment, the West Central Ohio Network (WestCON COG) for provider training, and OCALI for autism diagnostics. In 2025, CCBDD earned the highest three-year DODD state accreditation.
