Oregon Needs Assessment resources and result questions

Before you start

  • Daily routines, communication, health and behavior needs, medical risks, activities, home and money tasks, safety, supervision, employment, current paid and unpaid supports, equipment, goals, preferences, and knowledgeable participants.

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. Confirm whether an ONA is required and who will attend.
  2. Describe actual support needs and risks, including unpaid help and what happens when support is absent.
  3. Request a copy, review material facts and service-group result, and raise errors with the assessor or case manager.

Expected next

A completed ONA, request for more information, service-group result, copy of the assessment, or next planning event.

Save this proof

Appointment, records used, assessment notes, ONA copy, result, corrections, contacts, and dates.

If this stalls or the answer is no

Talk with the assessor or case manager and use the current complaint route if the result does not accurately reflect the person's needs.

Limits

Not everyone needs an ONA. For people who do, it determines a service group and range of in-home hours; it does not itself select services, approve the ISP, authorize a provider, or start support.

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.
