Navigating Resources

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.

Using the guides

Stay tuned for a recording of the training "How to Navigate Preventive Health Care and Recreation and Wellness Programs: A Training for People with Disabilities and Support Persons"

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