The goal of the
Greene County Board of MRDD is to continue the development
The Greene County Board of Developmental Disabilities is a county agency committed to serving individuals with mental and physical disabilities in Greene County, while providing support services for their families. Our mission is to ensure the availability of programs, supports and services that assist eligible individuals with disabilities in making choices and achieving a life of increasing capability so that they may live, work and play in the community. The Board recently was again accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), an independent nonprofit that accredits 25,000 rehabilitation organizations in the United States, Canada, Europe, and South America. In October, the Board received a three-year certification, the highest obtainable. Our organization was also the first in the country to be accredited for Supports for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. This year, Greene, Inc., the Board's Adult Services' nonprfit, is anticipating the opening of its new Atrium, a 20,000 square-foot, state-of-the-art habilitation facility that will house a new and improved workshop, classrooms, a learning kitchen, and a roomy cafeteria while providing services, support and employment opportunities for people with lifelong disabilities. The atrium is expected to open in late September 2009. For information about our different divisions, use the links at the top of this page.
