Eligibility

Every referral is carefully screened for eligibility according to State of Oregon guidelines. Not sure if you or a loved one qualifies for developmental disability services? Here are a few questions to get you started:

  • Is the person living with an intellectual or physical impairment?
  • Did physical disability first appear before age 22 or intellectual disability before age 18?
  • Does the disability directly affect the brain and has continued, or is expected to continue indefinitely?
  • Does the disability cause significant impairment of daily living skills (e.g., communication, grooming, safety, or social skills?
