Oregon DDS Services
At Strides, we understand that behavioral support is about far more than reducing challenging situations. Effective services should improve safety, strengthen communication, increase independence, reduce caregiver stress, and help individuals live more connected and meaningful lives within their communities.
Our Oregon DDS services are designed to support individuals with complex behavioral, developmental, medical, environmental, and support needs through practical, collaborative, and evidence-based approaches.
Whether we are developing a Positive Behavior Support Plan, helping maintain long-term stability, or supporting teams through difficult transitions, our focus remains the same: creating realistic support systems that lead to meaningful progress over time.
FBA
Our clinicians complete comprehensive Functional Behavior Assessments designed to better understand the factors influencing behaviors, environmental challenges, communication barriers, and support needs impacting daily life. Assessments are individualized, collaborative, and focused on practical strategies that improve quality of life and long-term success.
PBSP
We develop detailed Positive Behavior Support Plans tailored to the individual’s unique strengths, needs, goals, and support systems.
Behavioral support needs evolve over time. Our team provides ongoing maintenance, consultation, and collaboration to help individuals and support systems continue making progress as needs, environments, and goals change.
Why Strides
Strides is locally owned and operated by Board Certified Behavior Analysts who remain actively involved in service quality, clinical oversight, and provider collaboration. Families, providers, and case managers work directly with clinicians who understand both the complexity of these situations and the importance of practical, relationship-centered care.
Our team regularly supports individuals with high-acuity and multi-system needs, including significant behavioral challenges, placement instability, safety concerns, dual diagnoses, communication barriers, and complex environmental factors. We approach these situations with structure, collaboration, and a commitment to realistic solutions.
Our Approach
Many individuals referred for Oregon DDS behavioral services have already experienced years of fragmented systems, repeated crises, or support plans that never fully addressed the root of the challenges they face.
At Strides, we believe every individual deserves support built around possibility, dignity, and meaningful progress. Our role is not simply to react to difficult moments — it is to help build safer, more sustainable systems that allow individuals and the people supporting them to move forward with greater confidence, stability, and connection.
Our team is here to guide you through assessments, funding options, and service recommendations — with transparency and support every step of the way.
