Developmental and Intellectual Disability Services in Medford, OR

Supporting People with ID/DD across Jackson County

Our Medford office serves individuals and families throughout Jackson County and across the Rogue Valley. Based in Medford, the region’s largest city, we support communities from Ashland, Talent, and Phoenix in the south through Central Point, White City, and Eagle Point to the north. Our team provides developmental disability services and disability support services tailored to the needs of each individual, helping people build independence, strengthen community connections, and achieve their personal goals.

As one of Oregon’s fastest-growing regional centers, Jackson County offers a wide range of opportunities for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, but access to those opportunities can vary depending on where someone lives. From the busy corridors of Medford and Central Point to smaller communities throughout the Rogue Valley, our team works to connect individuals with supports that fit their goals, schedules, and lifestyles. We focus on creating services that are flexible, person-centered, and responsive to the unique needs of each individual and family.

Many of the individuals and families we serve come to us through referrals from Jackson County Developmental Disabilities, local brokerages, case managers, and support coordinators. Whether you are just beginning the eligibility process or looking for a provider that aligns with your goals, our Medford team can help you understand available services and what the next steps look like. We believe accessing developmental disability services should feel approachable, and we are always happy to answer questions along the way.

Employment is an important part of independence and community involvement for many of the individuals we support. Our employment services team works with job seekers throughout Jackson County to identify career interests, develop workplace skills, and pursue meaningful employment opportunities. We also partner with local employers throughout the Rogue Valley to help create inclusive workplaces and provide ongoing support when needed, helping individuals build successful long-term careers.

For those interested in making a difference in their community, our Medford office regularly hires Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) throughout Jackson County. DSPs, similar to Professional Support Workers (PSW), play a vital role in helping individuals develop life skills, participate in community activities, pursue employment, and achieve personal goals. Whether you are experienced in disability services or looking for a new and rewarding career path, we provide training, support, and opportunities for professional growth.
