North East Ohio Network (NEON) is a council of governments established in 1996 under the authority of Chapter 167 of the Ohio Revised Code. NEON provides services to county boards, providers, and people with developmental disabilities throughout northeast Ohio.

The founding Boards determined that they shared common concerns and the desire to provide the best possible services to persons with developmental disabilities in their respective counties. They determined that by cooperating with one another and coordinating their powers and duties, their respective counties’ residents will benefit and be better served. The member county boards may utilize NEON in any endeavor that will improve services to their respective residents they serve.
