We are public health educators, students, researchers, and advocates. Oregon Office on Disability and Health is a public health entity under the Institute on Development and Disability at Oregon Health & Science University.
Get Connected to Preventive Care That Works For You with The Linkage Project
The Linkage Project is helping Oregon adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) get connected to preventive health care and health promotion programs.
The Linkage Project Team from the Oregon Office on Disability and Health helps in three ways:
- They ask people in the project questions about their preventive health needs.
- They help people learn about healthy behaviors, going to the doctor, going to the dentist, getting screening tests, and getting mental health counseling
- They help people find preventive health care and other health supports in their community.

Taking Charge of My Health Care free online toolkit
The Oregon Self-Advocacy Coalition, the Oregon Office on Disability and Health and the University Center of Excellence in Developmental Disabilities are excited to share the Taking Charge of My Health Care Toolkit, an online resource for people with Intellectual/Developmental Disability and those who support them. The toolkit provides information, resources and skills-building strategies for individuals to learn how to best advocate for their health and health care. The toolkit offers 9 modules of different topics that can be used for individual learning or in a workshop or group format. Each of the 9 modules can also be used individually as a stand-alone lesson, or any combination of the modules can be used for a workshop or class format. The toolkit is a collaboration between the Oregon Self-Advocacy Coalition, the Oregon Council on Developmental Disabilities, the Oregon Office on Disability and Health and the University Center of Excellence in Developmental Disabilities and with input from members of an expert panel and other stakeholders.
