We support adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities to live the life they choose. We offer support for our participants to engage in activities that are healthy, social, sustainable and fun. Every day, they meet on-site in small groups to create a schedule, then head out across the city to explore on public transportation.
A typical day at On-The-Move might include:
A visit to a museum, library or favorite coffee shop
Breaking a sweat at CrossFit or dance
Volunteering at a community organization
Exploring Portland’s museums, libraries and shops
Participants are always dreaming up new ways to engage, enjoy and enrich the social fabric of our community!
Our small-group model provides just the right mix of self-determination and teamwork. When participants are uncertain about what to do or what opportunities are available our staff offer guidance and options. Staff are trained to deliver mobility and communication supports.
