CENTRAL OREGON DISABILITY SUPPORT NETWORK, INC.

What CENTRAL OREGON DISABILITY SUPPORT NETWORK, INC. does

Central Oregon Disability Support Network, Inc. (CODSN) is an Oregon-based nonprofit organization founded in 2004 and operating with IRS nonprofit status since 2010, providing no-cost disability education, advocacy, resources, and community support to families and individuals touched by disability across eight Central and Eastern Oregon counties (Crook, Deschutes, Grant, Harney, Jefferson, Klamath, Lake, and Wheeler). The organization's defining feature is a peer-delivered service model: every staff member brings personal experience caring for a loved one with a disability, paired with formal credentials in person-centered planning, special education, developmental psychology, and disability advocacy. Service delivery spans prenatal diagnosis through adult transition, including new-parent binders, prenatal diagnosis packets, IEP/504 consultations, person-centered planning sessions, monthly meet-ups, quarterly family fun days, the Bike for Life Camp, the Jason's Run and Recharge respite program, the Rising Stars financial-assistance fund, an annual Breaking Barriers Conference, and an Autism Roadmap guide, alongside employer-facing community training.

The underlying technology stack is minimal: CODSN does not operate a proprietary platform. Operations rely on NeonCRM for event registration, email subscriptions, and contact forms; Canva-hosted templates for Person-Centered Planning "All About Me" documents; and Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok for community engagement. The product surface is therefore service- and event-led rather than software-led.

Revenue mechanics are donation- and grant-driven, with the only priced offering being the Bike for Life Camp at $100 per child with scholarships available. Named program funding sources include the Edward & Romell Ackley Foundation (Rising Stars), the Jason Opdyke Memorial Fund (respite program), and a coalition of co-sponsors for Bike for Life Camp (JTFMR Foundation, Autism Society Oregon, Redmond School District, Thrive Central Oregon, and others). Distribution is regional and direct — staff embedded in Bend, Redmond, Klamath Falls, and Burns deliver services in-person across the eight-county catchment, with referral pipelines into hospitals, schools, Education Service Districts, FACT Oregon, Deschutes County Health Services, and PacificSource Community Solutions.
