Who is eligible for services?
We serve individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities that meet state criteria for eligible diagnoses and level of functioning. The onset of the qualifying condition must be before age 22. Potentially qualifying diagnoses may include intellectual disability, autism, traumatic brain injury, fetal neurological disorders, epilepsy, cerebral palsy, or other conditions whose origin is in the brain.
We can help you figure out which services and support are available. You are welcome to complete an application or call an eligibility specialist at 541-766-6130.
