Support & Resources

In Cooperation with the MO Division of Developmental Disabilities, Camden Co. Developmental Disability Resources provides Support Coordination services for Camden Co. persons with developmental disabilities. Through the Person Centered Planning process, our Support Coordination staff work to meet the needs and preferences of persons with developmental disabilities in a manner which takes into consideration the unique circumstances and values of the individual. Guided by the MO Quality Outcomes, the Person Centered Plan acts as a blueprint for achieving the individualized goals, objectives, and life outcomes identified by those we serve.

All persons served must have a developmental disability and reside in Camden County MO. The MO Division of Developmental Disabilities/Rolla Regional Office determines if an individual qualifies as having a developmental disability.

What is a Developmental Disability?

A developmental disability is defined as a long-term condition which:

  1. significantly delays or limits functioning in two or more areas of major life functioning (i.e. self-care, communication, learning, decision-making, capacity for independent living, mobility);
  2. is attributable to such conditions as an intellectual disability, cerebral palsy, head-injury, autism, epilepsy, or any other similar physical or mental impairment;
  3. which is manifested before the age of 22; and
  4. which is considered to be life-long in nature.

The Missouri Department of Mental Health, Division of Developmental Disabilities determines if a person has a developmental disability for the Camden County area.
