To better support individuals with IDD, their families and community partners, we have collected resources here for your use. If you have a resource that you would like to share on this page, please contact our website administrator at johanne.regunathan@ocdd.org and mention that you want to share information to our “Resources” page.

This guide was developed Office of Developmental Disability Services (ODDS) and the Oregon Self-Advocacy Coalition (OSAC)  in collaboration with self-advocates to strengthen your self-advocacy and make your experience of I/DD services better.

The Linkage Project Team from OODH helps in three (3) ways:

1. Identify Needs

They ask people in the project questions about their preventive health needs.

2. Educate

They help people learn about healthy behaviors, going to the doctor, going to the dentist, getting screening tests, and getting mental health counseling.

3. Find Health Supports

They help people find preventive health care and other health supports in their community.
