For over 50 years, the Putnam County Board of Developmental Disabilities (PCBDD), formerly known as Brookhill Center, has provided a full range of services from very young children to the elderly who have developmental disabilities/delays in Putnam County. We are able to do this by collaborating with a number of community entities to help improve the lives of those we serve.

The Ohio Association of County Boards (OACB) assists all 88 county boards in Ohio by providing advocacy, communications, professional development, and technical assistance. OACB has also put together a Life Map booklet that shows what a lifetime of services and supports for individuals with developmental disabilities may look like.
