At OHSU, the Center on Self-Determination (CSD) identifies, develops, and shares approaches that promote the self-determination of people with disabilities and their families.


Since the center's founding in 1996, it initiates and implements a range of issues from Participatory Action Research to accessible air travel to inclusive national service projects. Our current efforts include ABLECorps, a volunteerism and employment collaborative with AmeriCorps promoting employment and self-sufficiency for people with disabilities.

Join OHSU Pride at Protland Pride: Sunday, June 18th @ 11:00am

All members of the OHSU community (including friends and family) are welcome to walk with OHSU Pride in the parade. Free T-shirt provided to all participants.
