There are more than 40 of these agencies that provide direct services to Licking County residents with developmental disabilities.

Individuals and families have the right to choose the provider agency that best meets their needs. A combination of local levy funds from LCBDD and state and federal dollars are used to pay for these services. Agency providers are certified through the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities (DODD). However, LCBDD also has a Provider Support team that is dedicated to supporting providers in Licking County.

LCBDD facilitates the Licking County Provider Steering Committee — a group of providers that meets regularly to allow members to learn about and discuss issues affecting the direct care field. If you would like to learn more about the Provider Steering Committee, please click here.
