In 2006 the DDRB began providing case management for individuals 18 years of age
and older through an agreement with the Missouri Department of Mental Health Division
of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities. The long-term goal for the DDRB
is to serve individuals of all ages. The immediate goal is to reduce caseload sizes for all
case managers in St. Charles County with the following expected results:
- Quick responses to phone calls and other communications,
- Valuable information on community resources more readily available,
- Clear and understandable roles in the Person Centered Planning process,
- Meaningful Person Centered Plans that accurately reflect individual needs,
- Advocacy services and
- Reduced case manager turnover allowing for relationship development between client and staff.
Individuals in St. Charles County with developmental disabilities who are 18 years of age
and older have a choice to receive their case management services from either the St.
Louis Regional Center or the Developmental Disabilities Resource Board of St. Charles
County. All individuals, regardless of choice, must qualify for services through St. Louis
Regional Center Intake Services.
