Before you start

  • Evidence of onset, neurological origin when relevant, severity and expected duration, adaptive behavior across settings, intellectual testing when relevant, autism evaluation, school history, medical and psychological records, and daily support needs.

Who to contact

Start with the local Community Developmental Disabilities Program. After eligibility, use the chosen CDDP services coordinator or Support Services Brokerage personal agent. For an adverse action, use the exact notice and the current complaint or hearing route.

Find a CDDP or brokerage

Step by step

  1. Index each record by the eligibility fact it supports.
  2. Compare the record with the current developmental-disability or intellectual-disability definition that applies.
  3. Submit additions through the CDDP route and preserve the exact evidence used in the decision.

Expected next

A completeness response, request for testing or records, eligibility review, or written decision.

Save this proof

Evidence index, records, submissions, delivery proof, contacts, and decision.

If this stalls or the answer is no

Ask the eligibility worker which specific criterion or record category remains unresolved and how new information may be reviewed.

Limits

Oregon's full eligibility rules control. Autism is included among possible developmental disabilities, but diagnosis alone does not prove the required onset, neurological origin, severity, adaptive impairment, or other criteria.

Beyond Childhood’s checklists and prompts are planning aids derived from official sources. They are not official forms, legal advice, eligibility decisions, or guarantees of funding, capacity, quality, or service.
