The Huron County Board of Developmental Disabilities (HCBDD) is the primary agency for serving individuals with developmental disabilities in our county. While you may not be familiar with our official name, you are no doubt familiar with our AKA - Christie Lane.

We are frequently referred to as Christie Lane because our former sheltered workshop is known as Christie Lane Industries, and our school is named Christie Lane School. The name isn't as important as our mission, which has remained constant over the years. 
We exist to provide opportunities for individuals with disabilities to achieve a self-directed future as a leading provider of services and supports in Huron County.

Each year, we work with a multitude of children and adults - and their families - to help them enjoy life, live it to their maximum potential, welcome new challenges and overcome barriers, and experience the joy of contributing back to the community that has supported them. We believe that every person has a unique gift to share, and an important role as a community member.
