About Our Organization
Our primary focus is supporting individuals who have developmental disabilities, mental illness, or traumatic brain injury. Our mission is to help our clients reach their full potential given their personal challenges. We are committed to improving the quality of life for individuals with developmental or physical disabilities by alleviating barriers to their independence & striving to help them reach their full potential.
Senate Bill (SB) 40 was passed by the Missouri General Assembly in 1969. It authorizes a county’s voters to approve a levy to establish a political entity to provide services to persons with developmental disabilities. Voters in Moniteau County approved such a levy in 2000. The Board consists of 9 community members who volunteer their time to oversee the programs. At the time the levy was passed, the Board voted to contract with another agency to provide the services in Moniteau County. In 2008, the contract ended and the Board hired an Executive Director to oversee the programming for the county. The Board currently operates an 11 bed group home, a transportation program, and an activity center.
