Murdoch Developmental Center provides comprehensive residential care and treatment for 575 people with developmental disabilities from 25 counties in the state's Central Region. To be eligible for admission to the center, a person must have a diagnosis of profound, severe or moderate mental retardation or a related developmental disability. No one is denied admission because of inability to pay.  The center serves as the safety net for community programs by providing short-term, respite admissions when a program or family cannot manage the needs of the client. Murdoch also serves young adult males with developmental disability diagnoses and extreme behavior problems from the entire state in a specialized behavioral unit (BART), and provides statewide, specialized residential services to children who have autism with accompanying severe behavioral challenges (PATH) and adolescents with developmental disabilities, mental health issues and behavioral challenges (STARS).
