RT Industries

RT was mandated to privatize and separate from the miami county board of developmental disabilities. The center of medicaid gave all Ohio providers like RT until 2024 to separate from their local county board. RT officially separated on 1/1/18 and is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to helping adults with developmental disabilities achieve personal success by developing skills to confidently work, interact and thrive in the community. As a non-profit organization, RT operates independently as a direct service provider of adult day services, employment supports and transportation. RT requires donations, grants, fundraising dollars to operate in addition to the income generated from the direct provision of services through federal/state/local dollars.

Through the years, RT has revolutionized, providing primarily community-based services. Our services have grown to pre-employment, employment maintenance, transportation, and adult day services to people with disabilities and community living for veterans. Mission: helping people achieve personal success by developing skills to confidently work, interact and thrive in the community this mission was adopted in march of 2019 with seven core values: safety, collaboration, camaraderie, growth, integrity, excellence and innovation.
