The vision of the Franklin County Board of Developmental Disabilities is as follows: 

Eligible persons with developmental disabilities will live, work, learn and participate in the community, to the extent of their abilities, in a safe and healthy manner.

The Franklin County Board of Developmental Disabilities will be a well managed, financially responsible and stable, public organization providing cost-effective, quality services in partnership with families through a committed and respected staff.

The Franklin County community will be well informed about developmental disabilities, including causes and preventive measures, and will be accepting of individuals who have developmental disabilities.
