Community Vision serves individuals who qualify under DD 51 and live in the Portland area (Multnomah, Clackamas, and Washington Counties). Although the individual diagnosis gives a person access to CVI services, the organization is grounded in the foundation of person-centered, strengths-based assessment and interaction. Community Vision participants share a diagnosis of being developmentally disabled  (“severe, chronic disability that is attributable to a mental or physical impairment or combination of mental and physical impairments, and is likely to continue indefinitely; the diagnosis must have first presented itself between ages five and 22.”)  Some of the people we support have been diagnosed with cerebral palsy, autism, schizophrenia, and obsessive-compulsive disorder; there is considerable range between verbal and nonverbal participants, levels of mobility and independence, and the role Supported Living staff play.
