About Us

Since 1955, children, youth, and adult with developmental disabilities have counted on Wood Lane’s ability to provide excellent services and supports. Families created Wood Lane since no services were available before 1955. Since then, individuals and their families continue to be our focus in the provision a wide array of services.

Community members, civic and religious groups, BGSU, as well as businesses have been a critical part of our success. In addition, we have an excellent relationship with school districts and other human service agencies to ensure options and choices in education, employment, recreation, and community involvement.

Within the heart of each community, EVERYONE belongs!

The Board

The Wood County Board of DD is comprised of seven members appointed by the Wood County Commissioners or the Probate Court. By law, three of the Board members must have a family member who receives services. All Board members provide their expertise and guidance and receive no monetary compensation. We appreciate their service and dedication to Wood Lane.
