SERVICE & SUPPORT DIVISION SPOTLIGHT
DAN WILLARD
We are proud to “spotlight” Dan Willard who receives services through the Clinton County Board of Developmental Disabilities. Dan lives independently in the community and attends Adult Services at the Nike Center. He also works at Timber Tech via an enclave. Dan graduated from Wilmington High School in 1993. His favorite foods are pizza, ice cream (pumpkin especially) and cherry pie! He enjoys computers, computer games, going to Joe’s Java, the library, flea markets, bowling and spending time with friends. Dan’s true passion, though, is creating artwork that reflects his visions of the world around him.
Dan’s favorite colors are black, blue, purple, green, yellow, red, and well, just about any color that catches his eye at the time. This color attraction comes from his interest in creating artwork. He has been creating art for several years and is currently working with professors at Wilmington College in an art class as well as working with them independently. He is learning about mixing texture and color to bring out the details in his art. Dan is currently working towards having his artwork ready for an art show where it will be available for sale. He is also very good at working on engines, motors and designing graphics for cars.
We take great pride in providing professional and caring services to individuals in Clinton County. If you or a family member receive services from us, please take time to complete our satisfaction survey. Follow the link below to take the survey.

Greetings!
The Service and Support Division was created in January of 2002 in response to House Bill 94 for the Ohio Dept. of Developmental Disabilities (ODDD). Service and Support Staff coordinate services and supports needed by individuals with developmental disabilities (DD) to achieve positive outcomes for success in their daily lives. Individuals eligible for county board services are assigned a service and support “team” to assist them in obtaining their needs.
Services are:
- Establish an individual’s eligibility
- Assess individual needs for services
- Develop individual service plans with active participation from the individual to be served
- Establish budgets for services based on assessed needs
- Assist in free choice of providers
- Monitor services for quality and outcomes
- Maintaining rights, reporting Major Unusual Incidents and processing complaints
- Ensure coordination between service providers in the county
- Ensure that each individual has a designated person who can represent them and advocate for them
Interested persons can contact the Service and Support Office at (937) 382-7889 between the hours of 8:00am to 4:00pm or send an email to our address.
Residential Alternatives
The Service and Support Division coordinates residential services for DD individuals in need of assistance or alternative living situations. The County Board offers Group Home Services for individuals interested in 24 hour supervision and personal care in a group living situation, licensed by the ODDD. Barker House has been specially designed for those individuals with a more active lifestyle, focusing on daily living skills; whereas, Smith House provides a retirement atmosphere, where individual may need physical assistance.
Medicaid Funding under the Home and Community Based Waiver programs and the ODDD Supported Living program allow individuals to live as independently as possible in the community with supports. Services can include transportation, medical supplies, delegated nursing, appointment assistance, rental assistance, homemaker/personal care, environmental modifications and respite care. Individuals in this program choose where they wish to live and with whom they wish to have services provided by.
