Adult Foster Care

Children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities are considered an at-risk population. All persons who provide either paid or volunteer services to adults and children with intellectual and developmental disabilities must pass a criminal history background check before you can start work and get paid.

Applicants must complete the Basic Training Course, pass the provider test, meet experience and training requirements, and participate in a scheduled local orientation prior to licensing as a foster care provider.

If you are applying to become a licensed Adult DD Foster Care provider, you must study the online training videos.

Once you have thoroughly studied the training videos, please contact us at ddlicensing@clackamas.us regarding testing.
