Montgomery County, PA

Montgomery County, through a network of contracted providers, coordinates services and supports for both adults and children with mental retardation and their families. The focus of services is to assist individuals to live and participate in our community. The County Office partners with providers, supports coordinators, families and advocates to monitor and oversee the quality of services provided. Services include: supports coordination, information and referral, consultation and education, and family driven support services.  The County Office also funds and provides quality oversight of residential and day programs including vocational rehabilitative services, competitive employment and adult training.

 

In addition, the County Office administers the Early Intervention Program which is an entitlement service designed to meet the developmental needs of eligible infants and children (birth to three).

A core function of the office is to develop an Annual Plan that identifies the individual needs of registered consumers and submit this plan to the PA Office of Mental Retardation (PA OMR).  PA OMR uses this planning document in the development of their budget request to the State Legislature for new funding.

The Montgomery County Office of Mental Retardation is a Human Services Organization that serves children, adults, and families, ensures quality services, and promotes choice, partnership and community understanding.

The Montgomery County Office of Mental Retardation will ensure quality and sufficient supports to individuals we serve to enable them to be successful in the life they choose, and to assist them to fully participate in the community with dignity and respect.
