Lifelong Disability Supports and Services for People and Their Families

Our work is Heart Work. ALSO advocates for person centered services supporting individuals and their families through the many phases of their lives. We believe that individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities should have the same opportunities in their home, workplace, and community.

Our Heart Work supports the full inclusion of people experiencing disabilities in life. ALSO is one of Oregon’s premier disability support service providers. Together we work to see ability not disability.

Meet Bailey From Portland, Oregon

We couldn’t be prouder of Bailey. She is a shining example of the powerful impact that ALSO makes on the lives of those we serve. Bailey recently transitioned from our Children’s Home Program to our Adult Residential Program. An epic milestone for her and for the ALSO organization.

Oregon

Bailey became a young woman before our eyes. Not because of us, but because she trusted us to help her become who she wanted to be.
