While government websites contain the information you want, they can be challenging to navigate.<\/p>\r\n<p>Take heart. Much of the muddle is actually the result of progress. \u201cFrom a historical perspective, the application process has definitely improved,\u201d says Brett Turner, CEO of Advocates for Life Skills and Opportunity (ALSO). \u201cPeople with disabilities and their families have choices where they didn&#8217;t in the past. Basically, there was no choice or selection of services or any of those things. It was frustrating.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>Unfortunately, the new wealth of choices has created some confusion about what services are available and how to get them\u2014and the process isn\u2019t made any easier by government jargon, unfamiliar acronyms, and confusing websites that are still trying to catch up to the changes.<\/p>\r\n<p>As a disability support services provider, ALSO works with people experiencing intellectual and developmental disabilities to build a life of their choice. We believe that support should extend to guiding you through the process of applying for and receiving services. To that end, we\u2019re happy to provide this straightforward guide to getting services for Oregonians with intellectual and developmental disabilities.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Step-by-Step Guide to Getting Disability Services<\/h2>\r\n<p><iframe title=\"Heart Work is My Work\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aNHNNYLJWW4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Getting an Application<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In Oregon, services are coordinated through individual counties. To begin the application process, find your county\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oregon.gov\/odhs\/idd\/pages\/cddp.aspx?utm_source=ODHS&amp;utm_medium=egov_redirect&amp;utm_campaign=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.oregon.gov%2Fdhs%2Fseniors-disabilities%2Fdd%2Fpages%2Fcounty-programs.aspx\">Community Developmental Disability Services (CDDP) office<\/a>. You can either ask the office for an application form (and for help filling it out) or download the form from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oregon.gov\/odhs\/idd\/pages\/eligibility.aspx?utm_source=ODHS&amp;utm_medium=egov_redirect&amp;utm_campaign=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.oregon.gov%2Fdhs%2Fseniors-disabilities%2Fdd%2Fpages%2Feligibility.aspx\">Office of Developmental Disabilities Services (ODDS) Services and Eligibility page<\/a>, using the links below:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/sharedsystems.dhsoha.state.or.us\/DHSForms\/Served\/se0552.doc\">English application<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/sharedsystems.dhsoha.state.or.us\/DHSForms\/Served\/ss0552.doc\">Aplicaci\u00f3n en espa\u00f1ol<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/sharedsystems.dhsoha.state.or.us\/DHSForms\/Served\/sr0552.doc\">\u0440\u0443\u0441\u0441\u043a\u0438\u0439 \u0437\u0430\u044f\u0432\u043b\u0435\u043d\u0438\u0435 <\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/sharedsystems.dhsoha.state.or.us\/DHSForms\/Served\/sv0552.doc\">Ti\u1ebfng Vi\u1ec7t \u1ee9ng d\u1ee5ng<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>Each county uses the same application form, though other processes may be different. Once you\u2019ve completed the form, take it to your local CDDP office. Applications are available in English, Spanish, Russian, and Vietnamese.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Determine Eligibility<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>After reviewing your application, your CDDP office will determine whether you or your family member is eligible for services. As an example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.multco.us\/dd\">Multnomah County<\/a> reports that they coordinate services for individuals diagnosed with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and that:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>The condition must be expected to last a lifetime.<\/li>\r\n<li>The condition must impact at least two everyday living skills. Examples include self-care, communication, learning, socialization, mobility, and self-direction.<\/li>\r\n<li>The onset of the intellectual disability must have occurred prior to age 18. The onset of the developmental disability must have occurred prior to age 22.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Multnomah County\u2019s site lists potentially qualifying conditions as:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Intellectual Disability (IQ of 75 or below)<\/li>\r\n<li>Down Syndrome<\/li>\r\n<li>Autism Spectrum Disorders<\/li>\r\n<li>Cerebral Palsy<\/li>\r\n<li>Epilepsy<\/li>\r\n<li>Fetal Alcohol\/Drug Effects<\/li>\r\n<li>Traumatic Brain Injury<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The information above is a general example. Actual eligibility is based on <a href=\"https:\/\/secure.sos.state.or.us\/oard\/displayDivisionRules.action?selectedDivision=1804\">Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR) Eligibility Determination criteria (OAR 411-320-0080)<\/a> and not all people with disabilities will meet the criteria.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Completing an Assessment<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If your CDDP office determines that you or your family member is eligible for services, you\u2019ll be assigned a Service Coordinator, who will work with you to assess your needs. They\u2019ll get to know you and learn what\u2019s important to you. They\u2019ll tell you about housing and employment options as well as any other services you or your family member may need. You\u2019re welcome to bring along a legal representative, guardian, or family member to assist you.<\/p>\r\n<p>The assessment period is a great chance to discuss your wants, needs, and goals. Don\u2019t be afraid to be specific. For example, if you know that you\u2019d like to stay in your home and receive In-Home Supports or that your family member wants to work part-time in a quiet environment, let your Service Coordinator know.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Choose Case Management Services<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In most cases, once you and your Service Coordinator determine your needs and goals, you\u2019ll be asked to decide whether to use your county or a brokerage for case management. If you need comprehensive services, such as 24-hour residential care, it\u2019s required that the county oversees your case management.\u00a0If you live in your own home or your family home, you may be able to choose between your county\u2019s CDDP Service Coordinator and a Personal Agent at a Support Services Brokerage. \u201cThis is an important detail,\u201d says ALSO\u2019s Turner. \u201cAnd it can be confusing. You can only pick one or the other.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>Both CDDP Services Coordinators and brokerage Personal Agents offer a choice of service providers, which are private, nonprofit, and for-profit organizations that deliver day services, residential services, and family support services. What\u2019s the difference between your two choices? Your CDDP office has a wide reach and typically offers a broader choice of service providers<strong>. <\/strong>A brokerage is a private organization that provides some support services (though not all) and may offer a more personalized experience.<\/p>\r\n<p>By the time you need to make a choice, you\u2019ll probably have a good feel for the way your CDDP Service Coordinator operates. To understand the options that Oregon\u2019s brokerages provide, you can learn more at <a href=\"https:\/\/mybrokeragemychoice.org\/\">My Brokerage, My Choice<\/a>. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Select Services<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Once you have chosen either a county Services Coordinator or brokerage Personal Agent, you will choose a Service Provider for your actual supports. You\u2019ll get a waiver that will pay for the services you need, and you\u2019ll get to choose which services you want. You can receive services in your own home, your family home, a foster home, a home provided by a service provider, or in 24-hour residential care (previously called a group home). Services include:<\/p>\r\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/alsoweb.org\/employment-services\/\">Employment Services<\/a>:<\/strong> Meaningful work can add a lot to life. If you or your family member is at least 18 years old, you can receive training, job placement, and on-site support. At ALSO, we work with each individual to identify career goals and aspirations, helping people to find purposeful employment that truly makes a difference in their lives, and in others\u2019.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Residential Care Services:<\/strong> Some service providers offer 24-hour care in homes typically serving 3-5 people (typically 3 or fewer at ). Housing and room and board is provided, as well as assistance with activities of daily living (like bathing, eating, and dealing with money), helping residents to live the most independent life possible.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Supported Living Services:<\/strong> If you or your family member would like to live independently in your own home, <a href=\"https:\/\/alsoweb.org\/supported-living-services\/\">Supported Living Services<\/a> can help. You\u2019ll get help with daily life skills, including medical assistance, personal care, money management, and many other skills.<\/p>\r\n<p>You can choose from two payment structures:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Supported Living &#8211; A turn-key approach to all-in-one services, this option\u00a0offers comprehensive assistance with everything from medication to transportation, all provided and paid for by the service provider.<\/li>\r\n<li>Community Living Supports &#8211; An hourly billing platform, this option focuses on individual needs and goals while encouraging and assisting with social and community integration. If you\u2019re looking for in-home care, one-to-one supports, or help from Direct Support Professionals (DSPs), you may want to consider this option.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>There are more specific supported living services than we can list here, but they include transportation; help with activities of daily living; home modification; and behavioral, social, and community supports, from shopping to volunteering. ALSO offers all these services for both children and adults, all focused on individual needs.<\/p>\r\n<p>Your Service Coordinator or Personal Agent will explain all the services available to you, and you\u2019ll be able to visit the people providing the services before making any choices.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>\u201c<\/strong>It can be complicated to figure out how to make the right decisions,\u201d says Turner, \u201cbut the good thing is that after choosing a service you&#8217;re not stuck in it forever. After a day or a week or a month or even five years, you can move to something different. That&#8217;s what&#8217;s great about the new process.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<h2>A Recap on How to Get Oregon Disability Services<\/h2>\r\n<p>To get services for an Oregonian with intellectual and developmental disabilities, take these steps:<\/p>\r\n<ol>\r\n<li>Get an application.<\/li>\r\n<li>Determine eligibility.<\/li>\r\n<li>Complete an assessment.<\/li>\r\n<li>Choose case management services.<\/li>\r\n<li>Select Services<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Disability Services Resources<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you have questions or would like details on eligibility or the application process, you can contact <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oregon.gov\/dhs\/SENIORS-DISABILITIES\/DD\/Pages\/county-programs.aspx\">your county\u2019s CDDP office<\/a>.
