The Institute on Development and Disability (IDD) at OHSU works with patients, families, clinicians, researchers, and many other professionals to meet the goal of improving the lives of people with disabilities.

 

The IDD performs research and care to support every patient, from premature babies to older adults, facing changes in life due to the onset of disabling conditions.

 

With more than 100 years of practice, we understand how to best meet the needs of our patients and their families in Oregon and beyond.

We embrace the right of  people with disabilities to determine the course of their lives and to live as fully integrated, contributing members of  their communities.
