MORC provides services to children and adults with a variety of disabilities and their families. Many of the people MORC assists have a developmental disability.

The Michigan Mental Health Code provides the basis for eligibility for services. “Developmental Disability” is defined as a severe, chronic condition that:

• Is attributable to a mental or physical impairment or a combination of mental and physical impairments.
• Is manifested before the individual is 22 years old.
• Is likely to continue indefinitely.
• Results in substantial functional limitations in three or more of the following areas of major life activity: self-care, receptive and expressive language, learning, mobility, self-direction, capacity for independent living, and economic self-sufficiency.
• Reflects the individual's need for a combination and sequence of special interdisciplinary or generic care, treatment, or other services that are of lifelong or extended duration and are individually planned and coordinated.
