ELIGIBILITY

---

Eligibility for services from the Huron County Board of Developmental Disabilities is determined a little differently for each of several age groups, and is the responsibility of the Community Outreach Specialist for those aged three and up.  

The Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities provides one assessment tool for individuals from the age of 10 through adulthood. 

Ages 10 and up:  Current confirmation from a qualified clinician of the diagnosis of a severe, chronic disability, not solely caused by mental illness, manifested prior to the age of 22, and likely to continue indefinitely. 

After this diagnosis verification is received by HCBDD, a Level of Care (LOC) assessment will be scheduled and completed. 

The results of the LOC must show that the individual has a substantial functional limitation (SFL) in at least THREE of the following areas:

• Self-care
• Expressive/receptive language
• Learning/cognition
• Mobility
• Self-direction
• Independent living
• Economic proficiency
