ATS connects adults of all abilities to quality providers and resources within their communities which enables them to build confidence in their strengths and gifts so they can begin to live more independently. The ATS mission is to help individuals of all abilities work toward a healthy independent lifestyle. ATS supports that mission by offering the support, motivation, and tools necessary for success. Services are offered in the following settings:

1:1 —
Provider works individually with Customer focusing on specific goals in a direct manner in the home or in the community. Small group —
Provider works with Customer and a handful of others at the same time on similar goals in a less direct way. You can expect the same amount of instruction as with 1:1, but with learning coming from group communication as well as from direct provider instruction in the home or in the community. Larger group —
Provider facilitates group learning and goal achievement by integrating Customer and a group of peers during a community based activity or event from the monthly calendar. Here, you will have opportunities to use the skills you have learned in 1:1 and small group while meeting new people and growing new friendships. Virtual In-Direct Supports —
All the goals and Person Centered methods for teaching In-Person supports are now available via online Zoom meetings in order to facilitate safe progress on personal independence during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Important information about SNAP benefits!

OSAC wants to make sure that self advocates in the I/DD community across the state are staying up to date on changes to SNAP benefits. Please share this post to get the word out in our community!

Right now, October SNAP benefits have not been impacted. People received their October benefits as usual, and anyone newly approved during October will also get their full benefits. ODHS received a memo from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) that November benefits will be disrupted if a federal shutdown continues.

Here is what you can do to make sure you have access to food if your benefits are affected and how to stay informed:

1. Talk to your supporters to make a plan for you to access food if your benefits are affected. You can call your case managers and talk to them and ask them about local resources in your community.

2. Find out where your nearest food bank is by using the website: https://www.oregon.gov/odhs/food/pages/default.aspx?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery

3. Contact 211info by dialing 2-1-1, texting your ZIP code to 898-211, or visiting www.211info.org.

4. Older adults and people with disabilities: Connect with the Aging and Disability Resource Connection of Oregon (ADRC) for help finding government and community resources. Call 1-855-673-2372 or visit www.adrcoforegon.org

5. Sign-up for an ONE Online account and download the Oregon ONE Mobile app at benefits.oregon.gov to get notices about your SNAP case. Here is a video to learn how to do that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j85LjipK4PY&t=5s

6. Stay up to date with federal changes by visiting this ODHS webpage: https://www.oregon.gov/odhs/news/pages/federal-updates.aspx
