The Board has a number of videos it has produced over the years, featuring the people with developmental disabilities, their families and the services we offer them. Secrets of Our Success is a 1993 production that first introduced Sarah Godsey. She was later featured in the popular 1994 levy campaign Yes, Sarah. This video also featured the Neubert family, who finally with a change in state funding practices, could have their son, Robbie, live with them after nine years in an institution. Also featured in the video are Kay Moore and her father Roger Moore shortly after Kay began living on her own. And there is Leonard Alford, an employee at Woodside Cemetery, who talks about his work ethic. Time: 8 or 9 minutes. Come Learn with Us is a 1997 video that highlighted the need for the renovation at then Fair Acres Early Childhood Center, now the Janet Clemmons Center for Young Children and Families.

Both mothers talk about the importance of children with disabilities learning with their siblings and with other typically-developing children their age. Time: 5 minutes. I Love My Life is a 1998 production, which looks at the services of the Butler County MRDD Programs through the eyes and voice of Shawn O'Grady.
