Local county boards play a crucial role in supporting individuals with developmental disabilities by providing service and support administration. The County Board of Developmental Disabilities employee, often known as a Service and Support Administrator (SSA), serves as the main coordinator for the supports and services needed by individuals with developmental disabilities.

The SSA is not just an administrator but also serves as an advocate, problem-solver, and troubleshooter for individuals with developmental disabilities. They work closely with individuals and their families to ensure they receive the necessary care and support to lead fulfilling lives.

Service and Support Administrators are key figures in the lives of individuals with developmental disabilities, helping them navigate the complex system of services and supports available to them. By providing personalized attention and care, SSAs empower individuals to live independently and participate in their communities.
