Resource Navigation Guides

We created a series of Resource Navigation Guides to provide information about resources that are available and accommodating for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) and other disabilities in Oregon communities. The purpose is to ease the process of navigating resources. Many people may find the information useful. We think people with disabilities, their supports, and case managers will use this guide.

These guides focus on ways to navigate resources. They are not full detailed lists of programs and services.

Many of the resources are recommended by community members across the state. OODH has not checked the user-friendliness of many of these resources. It is important to confirm that resources in our guides meet your specific needs.

Oregon Office on Disability and Health has released five resource navigation guides for people with disabilities covering preventive health care, primary health care, oral health care, mental health care, as well as recreation and wellness. Community members and support people have requested that OODH show how to use and get the most out of these guides. This initiative supports better access to care for individuals with disabilities to improve behavioral and physical health while aiming to enhance health equity and care coordination. 

Viewers will learn about the Oregon Office on Disability and Health Resource Navigation Guides and how to use guides to access information to better navigate preventive health care for people with disabilities. This webinar features Emily Dinwiddie from the Oregon Office on Disability and Health and Michael Steen with the Oregon Self-Advocacy Coalition. 

Presentation slides from the training are available as a PDF to help people with disabilities and support persons use the navigation guides below.
