Supporting School-Age Kids with Special Needs

While your local school district is in charge of administering services for children with special needs between the ages of 3 and graduation, Summit DD is still available to you and your family as a trusted resource. We have Referral and Support Specialists (RSSs) available to help you navigate challenges and connect you with community resources. We can help with questions about your child’s IEP or even partner with your school to help you teen prepare for the transition to adulthood and employment like Mikayla did. We also work closely with our community partners on a summer work program that helps teens gain valuable work experience during a typical but important stage in their lives.

Discover a variety of resources available to you and your family here at Summit DD. Let us be your guide throughout your child’s school-age years.

Below are additional helpful resources for parents:
