Technology First

It is the philosophy of Wood County Board of Developmental Disabilities that individuals with developmental disabilities should have access to innovative technology solutions. The Board fully supports the Governor’s Executive Order 2018-06K for Technology First. Therefore, the Superintendent will be responsible for the development and implementation of procedures that ensure technology solutions are explored and documented throughout the person-centered planning process and are used to the greatest extent possible to support the outcomes identified in individual service plans.

  • About Remote Support

    Remote support is an emerging service model that combines technology and direct care to help support people with developmental disabilities living independently. Using two-way communication in real time, such as home-based sensors, cameras, and other technologies, remote support allows an off-site caregiver to monitor and respond to the safety and needs of people with developmental disabilities living in the community. 


    If you believe you or a loved one could benefit from remote supports, consider scheduling a tour or trial stay at our TwinTech Model Unit in Bowling Green, OH.

Twin Tech Model Home

We offer FREE overnight stays in our Twin Tech model home for individuals that receive county board services. Individuals that do not live in Wood County are required to have a caregiver stay with them.

  • Assistive Technology

     Assistive technology (AT) is defined as an interactive electronic device, product system, or engineered solution that helps a person to meet their goals of independence, improving functional capabilities, vocational skills, or community involvement (OAC 5123-9-12). AT can be purchased off the shelf, modified, or customized to meet the unique needs of each person. The Health Supports Department can conduct assessments and provide consultation to help individuals explore technology solutions!
