Developmental and Intellectual Disability Services in Salem, OR

Our Salem office serves individuals and families throughout Marion, Polk, and Yamhill counties, providing developmental disability services and disability support services that help people build independence, strengthen life skills, and participate fully in their communities. From Salem and Keizer to Dallas, McMinnville, Monmouth, Woodburn, Newberg, and surrounding communities, our team supports individuals across Oregon’s Capital Region with person-centered services designed around each individual’s goals and needs.

As the state’s capital and one of Oregon’s largest metropolitan areas, the Salem region offers a wide variety of opportunities for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Access to employers, community organizations, educational resources, recreational activities, and social opportunities can create meaningful pathways toward greater independence. Our role is helping individuals identify those opportunities and develop the skills and supports needed to pursue them successfully.

Because our Salem office serves three counties, every individual’s experience looks different. Someone living in downtown Salem may have different goals and opportunities than someone living in Yamhill County wine country or a rural community in Polk County. We recognize those differences and work closely with individuals and families to create supports that fit their local community, personal interests, and long-term goals.

Many of the individuals and families we support first connect with us through county developmental disabilities programs, brokerages, case managers, and support coordinators. Others reach out directly while researching developmental disability services in Marion, Polk, or Yamhill County. Whether you’re exploring services for the first time or looking for a developmental disability provider that aligns with your goals, our team is available to answer questions and help you understand your options.

At Premier Community Supports, we believe support should be as individual as the person receiving it. Through our In-Home Support Services and Day Support Services, individuals can develop daily living skills, participate in community activities, strengthen relationships, and work toward greater independence. Services are built around the individual’s strengths, interests, and vision for the future.

Employment can be a powerful tool for building confidence and community inclusion. Through our Employment Services, we help individuals explore career interests, prepare for employment, connect with employers, and maintain meaningful jobs. We partner with businesses throughout Marion, Polk, and Yamhill counties to help create employment opportunities and support long-term workplace success for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Some individuals and support teams may benefit from additional behavioral support. Our Positive Behavior Support Specialist Services help individuals, families, and support teams develop strategies that promote independence, strengthen skills, and support positive outcomes across home, work, and community settings.

For those interested in a rewarding career helping people with disabilities, our Salem office regularly hires Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) throughout Marion, Polk, and Yamhill counties. DSPs play an important role in helping individuals achieve personal goals, build confidence, increase independence, and participate more fully in community life. Whether you’re entering the field for the first time or bringing previous experience, we provide training, support, and opportunities for growth.
