The health and safety of people with developmental disabilities is the top priority for the Medina County Board of Developmental Disabilities. Our board members, administration, and staff are committed to a community that is healthy and safe for all those with disabilities.
The MCBDD is designated by the state as the reporting agency for incidents involving individuals with developmental disabilities in Medina County.
Major Unusual Incidents (MUIs)
An MUI (major unusual incident) is an alleged, suspected, or actual incident where there is reason to believe the health and safety of an individual was adversely affected. Examples may include, but are not limited to: physical abuse, sexual abuse, verbal abuse, attempted suicide, death, exploitation, misappropriation, medical emergency, missing individual, neglect, unapproved behavior support, unscheduled hospital admission, and/or significant injury.
MUI reporting and investigations help everyone to identify why an incident occurs and how to prevent it from happening again.

DODD has put together a series of helpful guides about health and safety issues for people with disabilities. Read the most recent health and safety alerts from the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities.
