Founded in 1997, ALSO provides comprehensive disability support services across the Portland Metro area, Central, Southern, and Eastern Oregon. Their programs include supported living, residential care, employment services, and children’s services—all designed to promote full inclusion and independence. ALSO’s approach centers on building strong relationships and fostering opportunities for self-advocates to thrive in every aspect of life. Their work is guided by the belief that everyone deserves the same opportunities to connect, belong, and grow.

Discovery helps self-advocates build a personalized employment profile through community-based exploration. A facilitator meets with the individual and their team, visiting various locations to assess existing skills and preferences. These insights are compiled into a Discovery profile, which is then used in collaboration with a Job Developer to identify ideal job matches. Access to the service is available through a Service Coordinator or Personal Agent.
