Families as Partners in Employment Success

Families provide essential encouragement, advocacy, and support for youth with disabilities. STEP Oregon offers families practical guidance, strategies, and resources to:

  • Navigate CTE, community programs, and vocational rehabilitation services.
  • Support youth in work-based learning (resume building, applications, interviewing).
  • Access wraparound supports such as transportation, health care, and housing.

Our family resources are designed to be practical, flexible, and responsive to the needs of parents and caregivers.
